About Annie
Annie Ryan is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and has five years working in independent practice. Annie aims to create a warm, calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them right now.
She uses clear, practical conversations to help people understand their situation. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent for the person, and on small steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Annie works patiently at a pace chosen by the client and checks in regularly about progress. Common concerns she helps with include depression, anxiety, stress, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, parenting pressures and career decisions.
Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress and feelings of emptiness. Annie brings five years of independent practice experience to her work and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, aiming to help people build new coping skills and clearer thinking.
People meet by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, depending on what suits them best. The first step is a short questionnaire and a scheduling choice, after which Annie and the client agree a plan and a suitable pace for sessions.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Annie works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a client's goals and circumstances. She checks progress and adjusts plans together so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat offers a quicker check-in and text-based messaging enables flexible, short exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while still keeping the therapeutic focus on steady, practical change.
