About Ann

Ann Marsh is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Ann also gives attention to concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems and finding life purpose.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit what a person brings to sessions. That may include talking through how early attachment affects current relationships, examining the stories someone tells about themselves, and using practical techniques to manage anxious thoughts and panic. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change.

Ann describes her work as client-centred, which means she listens to what matters most and follows the person's pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thinking, and on narrative and existential perspectives to help people reconsider meaning and choices. These methods are used together rather than as separate steps.

Her background with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is recorded as BACP. Ann has supported people with mood difficulties, social anxiety, workplace problems and issues linked to guilt, shame and forgiveness. She is available to work in English and does not take international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Ann often draws on client-centred practice, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred practice means the therapist listens and follows what matters most to the person, which helps when someone feels unsure about next steps. Attachment-based ideas look at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, useful for relationship struggles and abandonment concerns. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss the different methods and help the person decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so prospective clients should confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove the need to travel. Many people find that working this way makes it simpler to try different approaches and keep therapy consistent alongside daily responsibilities.
