Your questions, answered

This is a completely free, informal 15-minute chat via Google Meet. There is no pressure to share anything you aren't comfortable with. It is simply a safe space for us to say hello, discuss what you are looking for and see if we are a good fit to work together. If we decide to move forward, we will then look at scheduling your first full therapeutic session. You can book directly via my Calendly link or drop me a message here if you prefer to email first.

As an integrative therapist, I specialise in working with adults in their 20s and 30s who feel a deep disconnect between how their life looks on the outside and how they are feeling on the inside. This often shows up as persistent worry, emotional exhaustion, relationship strain or patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism.

Alongside this, I have extensive specialised training and experience in bereavement and loss through my work with Cruse Bereavement Support. In my practice, I hold a dedicated space for all forms of grief including traditional bereavement, living losses (such as identity shifts, relationships ending or navigating family boundaries) and disenfranchised grief (losses that society often overlooks like infertility. the loss of a job or friendships that have drifted apart).

If you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating a hidden loss or just struggling to find your bearings that is exactly what we are here to work through. If you’re facing a specific challenge not mentioned here, our initial free call is a perfect, zero-pressure space to talk through what you need.

While the terms are often used interchangeably, they have a slightl different focus. Counselling is usually shorter-term, helping you work through a specific current issue, a crossroads or a difficult life change. Psychotherapy tends to go a bit deeper, exploring long-standing patterns or past experiences that shape how you feel today. Because I am an integrative therapist, I blend both approaches helping you separate your worth from your performance while finding a clearer way forward.

Every person’s journey is completely unique. Some clients find that a few weeks of focused counselling give them the practical tools they need to move forward. Others prefer the deeper, ongoing support of psychotherapy over several months to truly unpack long-standing patterns. We will check in regularly to review how our work together feels, ensuring you always remain in total control of your care.

Therapy is most effective when it is consistent so work on a weekly basis, especially at the beginning of our work together. Meeting at the same day and time each week helps us build momentum, create a secure therapeutic rhythm and safeguard that space just for you. We will talk though how this fits into your lifestyle during our initial intro call.

The initial 15-min introductory call is completely free. Following that, standard 50-minute sessions are £60. To keep things simple, payments are made in advance of our session via a direct, secure bank transfer link.

Working online fits seamlessly into a busy professional schedule and allows you to choose the right therapist for you, rather than just the one closest to you. I use Google Meet for our sessions so all you need is a reliable internet connection and a private, comfortable space where you feel completely secure.

Walk & Talk sessions take place in easily accessible outdoor spaces across the Rushcliffe area making it ideal for residents in and around Bingham, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Cotgrave, Ruddington and Keyworth.

Nature is rarely perfect and there is often something therapeutic about working through the elements together. I generally hold sessions in all weathers and simply ask that you dress appropriately for the conditions (comfy shoes and a waterproof coat are usually best!).

However, in the event of severe or unsafe weather, we will simply adapt - either moving our session online via Google Meet or rescheduling for a better time.

Everything we discuss in both our online and walk & talk sessions is completely confidential adhering to the ethical framework of the BACP and NCPS.

For Walk & Talk therapy, privacy is a priority. We choose quiet, open paths where we can speak freely. Before we ever head outside, we will agree on a simple, discreet plan for exactly what we will do if we cross paths with someone you or I know ensuring you always feel safe, secure and in control or your space.

That’s ok! All questions are welcome. Please fill in the contact form or email ann@annmoorhouse.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Finding the right therapist for you is the most important part of this process.
