About Ann
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience, Ann Ellison helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, career transitions, coping with life changes and ADHD. Ann works using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing.
Ann creates a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the person who attends. She uses straightforward talk, practical exercises and evidence-informed methods to tackle symptoms and everyday problems.
Her style is collaborative. She listens first to understand what matters, then suggests steps that fit the person’s life. That can include noticing difficult thoughts, trying short behavioural experiments, or using trauma-focused practices when appropriate.
Over 16 years she has worked across a range of concerns. That experience shapes how she plans sessions and sets realistic, step-by-step goals with people. She aims to help people manage distressing symptoms and carry on with daily responsibilities.
Before a first meeting she asks people to say what they hope to change. This helps make the first session practical and focused. People are encouraged to discuss their priorities and any questions about how she works.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical techniques to change thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain problems like low mood or sleep difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and may reduce their intensity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
The biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school or family commitments because there is no travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief meeting is more helpful, or avoid video when that is not practical. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these flexible options to help sessions fit everyday life.
