About Ann
Counsellor and BACP member Ann Patmore has 12 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem and issues linked to ADHD, including late diagnosis in adulthood. Ann also works with addiction-related difficulties, relationship problems and responses to trauma and abuse.
Ann focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions look at what causes distress and which small changes might help day to day. She offers straightforward support for concentration, memory and motivation problems alongside emotional concerns such as guilt, shame, anger and isolation.
Her background includes a broad practice with family-related concerns, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and communication problems. She works with people dealing with divorce or separation, infidelity and domestic violence effects, and with those facing career stress or compassion fatigue.
Ann pays attention to how past experiences influence current responses. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts discussions to the person in front of her. This can include focusing on coping skills, problem solving and improving everyday routines that support attention and mood.
Sessions are held in English and are arranged from the United Kingdom. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How evidence-based work fits with online counselling
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills and problem solving to reduce daily stress and improve concentration. This is useful for anxiety, stress and ADHD-related attention difficulties. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and communication, helping people change unhelpful reactions and improve interactions with close others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with each person and agrees what to try first. That decision is based on the client’s needs, goals and what feels workable in day-to-day life, and it may change as progress is made.
If you are considering online counselling, check which session formats are offered before booking. The biography does not list specific formats here, so confirm current options through the site. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
