Anna Walton Counselling

Psychodynamic Counsellor & Therapist, MBACP registered

Our lives and experiences take us in many directions and sometimes it can be hard to process or make sense of it all. I offer you a warm, non-judgemental space to explore and talk it all through - together we can work on gaining deeper insights into your emotions and the patterns in your life

About me

After having spent many years working in the City with large companies as a project manager, I changed the direction of my career and I now help people reconnect with themselves and build inner strength.

​

I am a psychodynamic counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP registered member number: 412913).

​

Alongside running my own private practice, I also work as a staff counsellor at Highgate Counselling Centre.

What is psychodynamic counselling? 

Not only do we carry our life experiences in our mind, body and memory, but our emotional impressions are often played out in other areas of our life, like in our dreams. I see dreams as an important way to gain a deeper insight and perspective into our existence.

Psychodynamic counselling is a style of therapy where we talk about and look at what is going on in your life now, as well as what has happened in your past. It is when we start noticing and understanding the patterns in our life, and we work through the emotions with those experiences together, so that we can get a better understanding of ourselves and our relationships.

For me psychodynamic counselling is a journey of self-exploration that we undertake together. By becoming more used to listening inwards to our own true self, we can find new ways to relate to ourselves and the world around us.

How I work

My areas of expertise

In our meetings we will focus on the areas that are most pressing for you in the moment. Your focus might change during the course of therapy, that is all a natural part of your therapeutic journey. Here are some areas where I work regularly with clients:

  • Feeling emotionally numb or unable to express feelings

  • Finding meaning in life

  • Loneliness

  • Low self-esteem

  • Health problems

  • Making sense of the past

  • Parenting problems

  • Questions around identity and how you see yourself

  • Relationship problems

  • Sexuality and sexual identity

  • Struggling to move on from the past

  • Workplace issues and managing stress

Fees and structure

In psychodynamic counselling we meet weekly at an agreed time.

​

I usually work on an open-ended basis, which allows us to explore issues in a deeper and more meaningful way, but also offer short-term counselling on specific issues. We can discuss what suits you best at this stage in your life.

​

I work in-person at East London Therapy in Walthamstow and at Highgate Counselling Centre in Highgate. I also offer sessions online via Zoom for clients anywhere in the UK.

​

I work with adults over 18 years of age only.

​

My fee is £80 per 50 minute session.

​

I invoice on a monthly basis.

Deciding to start therapy can be a complex process, stirring up many emotions. It might feel scary and uncomfortable to seek help. I offer a free, no-obligation 20 minute chat by phone, to see whether my approach to therapy is right for you, before we start our journey.
