She believes in working with Adults and Adolescents that her role is to support and facilitate a person to gain a meaningful understanding of what causes problems in their life. This enables a person to embrace a life suited to their needs and desires.

Ann offers clients a safe and confidential experience to address whatever personal issues they are seeking help with.

Some issues Adolescents need support with are school truancy, anger management, self esteem, gender identity, neurodiversity. Ann is particularly interested in developing in any person she works with a deeper understanding of themselves which allows the person to live authentically and in accordance with their own personal identity.
