About Ann

Ann Ellison works with people using practical, evidence-informed approaches. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ways of working to help people bring more balance to their lives. Ann is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she draws on 16 years of experience in the UK.

Ann helps people manage stress and anxiety with clear, step-by-step tools. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem, and low mood.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Ann aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement.

She listens, reflects, and uses practical techniques that people can try between sessions. Ann also works with concerns around relationships, grief, sleeping problems, career decisions, and navigating life changes. She can introduce strategies for problem-solving, behavioural experiments and ways to notice and change unhelpful patterns.

Getting started usually means a short matching process and an initial discussion about priorities and goals. From there Ann and the person agree a plan that suits their pace and day-to-day life.

Approaches that suit online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and for people who want practical steps to live more consistently with what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers clear strategies for tackling anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and unwanted patterns through experiments and homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through a persons needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility that can fit into busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other and work through exercises together. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, reflective exercises or when someone prefers writing over speaking.
