About Ann
Counsellor (BACP), 12 years' experience. Ann Patmore helps people with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, ADHD and addictions. She works with relationship and trauma-related issues and supports people navigating career changes and compassion fatigue.
Ann focuses on practical conversations that address day-to-day problems. She pays attention to concentration, memory and motivation and helps people adjust after a late ADHD diagnosis in adulthood. Sessions aim to identify patterns that make life harder and to try small changes that make daily life easier.
Her work covers common family challenges such as communication problems, divorce and separation, and the effects of adoption or foster care. Ann also addresses anger, guilt, shame, isolation and forgiveness in ways that connect to current life demands. She understands issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome and how these can affect relationships and routines.
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical tasks between sessions. She adapts the pace to each person and helps set manageable goals. People can expect straightforward discussion about symptoms, triggers and coping strategies.
The first contact starts with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work with remote sessions
Ann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical change. Cognitive-based approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. These methods can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also draws on skills-based strategies that target attention, concentration and coping. These strategies teach routines, memory supports and planning tools that can benefit people managing ADHD, focus difficulties and day-to-day organisation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review needs, goals and preferences together and agree a plan to try. This collaborative process means techniques are adjusted over time if something is not working.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a work break. Different formats can also suit different tasks - shorter phone check-ins for quick updates, or longer video meetings for skill coaching and more detailed work.
