About Ann
Ann Patmore offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or family strain. She writes simply and listens carefully to what matters most. Ann encourages small, workable steps so clients can feel steadier between sessions.
Ann has 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has helped people with parenting pressures, low self esteem, motivation and difficulties with concentration and memory.
Background and approach
She also works with adults who have a late diagnosis of ADHD and with related focus issues. In sessions she adapts the conversation to each person’s needs. The focus is on clear, realistic goals and practical ways to manage daily life.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and explains them in plain language so they are easy to try at home. Ann describes her style as respectful, sensitive and compassionate. She aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences such as trauma, relationship problems, loss or addiction.
She is comfortable discussing complex family issues including adoption and attachment concerns. People often come for help with career stress, anger, coping with life changes and feelings of isolation or shame. Ann supports those working through separation, infidelity or domestic violence impacts.
She will work alongside clients to build practical coping strategies and clearer perspectives.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques explained simply so clients can apply them day to day. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills to manage anxiety and stress; this involves breaking problems into smaller steps and practising short exercises to reduce overwhelm. Another approach concentrates on attention and executive skills for people with ADHD diagnosed in adulthood; it includes strategies to improve organisation, concentration and task planning.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, then try methods that suit the person’s needs. Progress is checked together and techniques are adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, midweek support or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines.
