About Annie

Annie Ryan is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and draws on five years of independent practice experience to guide conversations. Annie is a BACP member which indicates her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can be heard. People come to her for many reasons including grief, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns and parenting strain.

Background and approach

She also supports those managing mood conditions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Annie pays attention to practical problems as well as the feelings beneath them, so sessions cover both daily coping and deeper emotional patterns. Her way of working is collaborative.

She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals that fit each person’s life. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can change if needed. Pace is adjusted to what feels comfortable for the client.

Clients can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. That flexibility lets people fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy schedules. Costs vary with location and the subscription model used for sessions.

Annie encourages a simple first step: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. She aims to make starting straightforward and to help people find clear, manageable ways forward.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. For example, behavioural strategies help people break unhelpful routines and build healthier habits; these are useful for anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours. Cognitive approaches look at thinking patterns and support small experiments to test new ideas, which can help with stress, self-esteem and relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss different ways of working, and agree a plan together. Sessions are collaborative so methods can change as needs and goals become clearer.

Online formats offer real practical benefits. Video calls let conversations feel close while keeping travel time down. Phone sessions are useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, need brief daily support or want flexible timing. These options help fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy lives while keeping the focus on clear, manageable steps forward.
