Hello, I’m Anna.

I’m an experienced therapist, BACP (Accred) & BUPA practioner, working both face to face and also trained to work online. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment in Chailey and Hove, where we can work together towards healing. 
I have worked previously in the corporate world, experienced being a parent and self employed and I trained and worked for five years as a one-on-one life coach before training as a counsellor. I recently trained as a Resilient Leadership Coach (throughRLDP) and bring all my life experiences and my therapeutic training to my work as both a Therapist and Coach. I also practice in the voluntary sector, working with addiction therapy alongside work on PTSD, grief, depression, and anxiety. 

I’m a fully Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I abide by their code of ethics in my work.

My home is in East Sussex, among the hills of the South Downs. The sense of calm that I get from being in such a beautiful place, and the peace that we can all find in nature, really informs my work. 

If you would like to schedule an appointment, contact me so we can arrange a time to meet at one of my clinics in Hove or South Chailey.

Why Skylark?

For me personally, I discover a clear mind and a deeper connection with my emotions most acutely when I’m deeply immersed in nature. When I qualified as a therapist I walked the South Downs Way as a form of retreat.  I noticed and observed two Skylarks - I assume a different pair over the course of 100 miles! - appearing repeatedly. I became curious about these fascinating little birds, their character, habitat and nature, and decided to name my therapy practice in their honour.
