Annie RyanBACP

Annie Ryan is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred way of working to help people through difficult times. She offers a warm, listening presence and focuses on understanding what matters most to each person. Annie uses gentle honesty to help clients identify next steps and practical changes they can try.

She has five years of private practice experience in the United Kingdom. Before that she spent additional years working in other professional roles. Annie has worked with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship struggles. She also supports people facing issues around parenting, intimacy, addiction and life changes such as adoption or separation.

In sessions she helps people set achievable goals and reviews progress together at agreed intervals. Conversations are paced to suit the individual, with simple plans that can be adjusted as needed. Her approach is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Annie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and sees people in the United Kingdom. Her work has involved supporting those coping with stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and longer term mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

To start, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Annie uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, with costs that vary by location and availability. She encourages a first step of making contact to talk through practical arrangements.

How therapeutic approaches fit into remote care

Many clients find straightforward, evidence-based techniques useful for everyday problems. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping people identify their own solutions; it suits issues like stress, low mood and relationship worries. Practical problem-solving approaches look at small, concrete steps to change routines and reduce overwhelm, which can help with anxiety, burnout and parenting challenges.

Deciding which approach will help most is a joint process. The therapist will ask about goals, what has helped in the past and current obstacles, and then suggest a way forward. This is reviewed regularly so the plan matches changing needs and preferences.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when bandwidth is low or being on camera feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and homework tasks so therapy fits into everyday life rather than disrupting it.
