About Ann

Ann Patmore helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting pressures and family conflicts using practical talking therapy and evidence-based techniques. She works with adults on self-esteem, motivation, concentration and ADHD, including those diagnosed later in adulthood. Ann is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 12 years of professional experience.

Ann uses straightforward conversations to understand what is happening in a person's life. She focuses on clear goals and steps people can try between sessions. Sessions look at thinking patterns, daily routines and relationship interactions that affect wellbeing.

She has particular experience supporting people with attention and concentration difficulties. This includes practical strategies to manage symptoms and adapt everyday tasks so they become more manageable. Ann also works with issues linked to addiction, anger and career stress.

Family-related concerns are addressed through individual counselling that explores communication, boundaries and roles. She helps people facing separation, divorce, adoption or foster care questions, and those dealing with guilt, shame or past abuse.

Ann also supports people from LGBT communities and those coping with isolation or compassion fatigue. Her approach is respectful and responsive, and she adapts the focus to what each person needs to work on. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches work with online counselling

Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and everyday routines. One useful approach looks at thinking patterns and how they affect mood and actions; it helps people with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems by teaching ways to test and change unhelpful thoughts. Another common method focuses on behavioural strategies and practical tasks to improve concentration, daily organisation and coping with ADHD symptoms, helping make small changes that fit into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ann will discuss different options with each person and decide together which methods suit their needs and goals. This collaborative process means therapy can change if priorities shift or new challenges appear.

Confirm the exact remote session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or audio depending on what feels most practical for them.
