About Ann
Ann Patmore is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, and difficulties with motivation, confidence and concentration. Ann also focuses on ADHD, including people diagnosed later in adulthood.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear problems such as managing daily stress, improving concentration, or sorting out relationship and family tensions. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people develop coping strategies and clearer routines.
Ann pays attention to how life changes affect direction and purpose. Conversations often look at what has shifted after a change in work, relationships or health. She helps people think through next steps and small adjustments that can make daily life easier to manage.
When ADHD is a factor, Ann works with attention and organisational issues. She helps clients build skills for focus, memory and managing tasks in everyday life. This can include breaking problems into manageable steps and testing practical routines.
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns linked to relationships and behaviour. These include addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, career worries, compassion fatigue, and issues around abandonment, attachment or adoption. Ann also supports people dealing with isolation, infidelity, guilt and shame.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Ann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people work through practical problems. One common approach focuses on skills training for attention and organisation, which breaks tasks into smaller steps and builds routines to support concentration and memory. This can help with ADHD-related difficulties and daily task management.Another approach uses problem-focused work to manage stress and anxiety. Sessions identify specific triggers, trial coping strategies and review what helps in ordinary life. That method aims to produce clear, testable changes people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and decide collaboratively which techniques fit the client's goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as needs change.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Many people find online work helps fit therapy around work and family life, saves travel time and allows shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions to keep the work practical and applicable to everyday routines.
