About Annie
Annie Ryan is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing life transitions and emotional difficulties. She works in the United Kingdom and brings five years of private practice experience to her work. Annie aims to create a warm, listening space where people can say what troubles them and begin to plan a way forward.
In sessions she focuses on understanding what matters most to each person. Conversations are open and honest, and goals are agreed together. Annie keeps the pace tailored to the individual and checks in regularly to see how things are going.
Her areas of focus include managing stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, and helping people with relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with addiction, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and difficulties linked to ADHD. Adoption and foster care issues are listed among her additional areas of focus.
Annie is recorded with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown in her profile as BACP.
People who choose to work with Annie typically begin by sharing what feels most urgent. From there she helps set short-term goals and practical steps to try between sessions. The aim is steady progress at a pace that feels manageable.
How Annie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Many clients find that evidence-based techniques can be adapted well to conversation-based work. Cognitive approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural experiments to shift how someone feels. These methods often help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Other practical techniques emphasise coping strategies and step-by-step planning to manage difficult moments and reduce overwhelm, which can suit grief, addiction and caregiver stress.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and preferences for how to work. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust them as progress is reviewed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and suit quieter or lower-bandwidth setups where video is not ideal. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make remote therapy clear and practical, helping people apply skills between sessions and keep therapy working around everyday commitments.
