Background and approach
That background means she has worked with a range of common concerns such as low mood, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with sleep and eating. She also has experience supporting people facing trauma, grief and addictions. Ann-Marie supports people with identity and sexual orientation topics, including LGBT concerns, and works with clients dealing with polyamory or non-monogamous relationship questions.
Additional focus areas include ADHD, hoarding and HIV / AIDS related matters. In sessions she centres on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Her style is sensitive and compassionate.
Therapy sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with straightforward goals and steps to try between meetings. People can expect a calm listener who will help them talk through their immediate worries and plan manageable next steps. Ann-Marie offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Two evidence-based approaches commonly used in this kind of work are short-term coping skills and structured talking therapy. Short-term coping skills focus on practical techniques to reduce immediate anxiety and improve sleep or concentration, such as breathing exercises and simple routine changes. Structured talking therapy helps unpack relationship patterns, address trauma memories or shift unhelpful thinking by using guided conversation and agreed tasks between sessions.Another helpful method is pacing and goal-setting, which breaks bigger problems into small, achievable steps. This approach can suit people facing life changes, career stress or challenges with parenting and intimacy by creating clear next actions and reviewing progress together.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. That way each plan is tailored and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility - video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel, making it simpler to keep regular contact and make steady progress.
