About Ann
Ann Patmore welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and want practical support. She writes simply and listens closely, aiming to make the first steps easier for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy. She has worked in the United Kingdom for 12 years and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her experience includes helping people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation and concentration difficulties.
Background and approach
She often supports people adjusting to life changes and those coping with compassion fatigue. Ann has particular experience with ADHD, including people who received a diagnosis in adulthood. She helps clients who struggle with focus, memory and getting organised after a late diagnosis.
Her work with parenting and family concerns focuses on the individual’s experience rather than running family sessions. Her approach is practical and respectful. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs and circumstances.
Sessions are designed to look at what is getting in the way now and to build workable strategies for everyday life. Ann also draws on wider work with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction and anger. She supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption issues, attachment concerns and feelings of isolation.
Simple, steady steps are emphasised over quick fixes. Signing up for therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Ann guides new clients through a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions to suit both parties.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and small behaviour shifts that reduce anxiety and stress; it is useful for worries that interfere with daily life. Another approach concentrates on skills for attention and organisation, helping those with ADHD symptoms to manage concentration, memory and routine tasks more reliably.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Ann will discuss options with each person and agree on goals together, adjusting the methods to match needs and preferences as therapy progresses. This collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant from the start.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and circumstances. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful if less bandwidth is available, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can work for ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
