About Ann
Ann Marsh is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She works with those dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem, panic attacks and the lingering effects of trauma and abuse. Ann brings four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her sessions focus on what matters to each person. She listens to a person’s story and helps them name painful patterns.
Background and approach
Then she and the client look for small changes that make daily life easier. Conversations are practical and straightforward, with space for feelings and thinking. Ann draws on several approaches to tailor sessions.
She uses narrative ideas to help clients separate themselves from difficult problems. Attachment-based ideas help explore how early relationships shape current struggles. Client-centred elements mean the person’s perspective guides the pace and direction of therapy.
She also uses cognitive-behavioural and existential ideas where they fit a client’s goals. CBT-based techniques can help reduce panic and manage anxiety symptoms. Existential questions support people working through meaning, purpose and major life shifts.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The overall aim is to make therapy fit around a person’s life, not the other way round.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Ann directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas shape online sessions
Ann commonly brings Narrative Therapy into online work to help people separate themselves from painful problems. This often looks like telling the story of an issue out loud, noticing recurring themes, and then trying new ways of describing and responding to it. Narrative approaches can help with relationship difficulties, shame and questions about life purpose.She pairs that with Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to explore how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. These conversations can help people understand patterns in close relationships and learn gentler ways of relating to themselves and others. Client-Centred methods also feature, so the person’s own priorities and pace shape each session.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with ongoing check-ins about what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when needed, phone can be easier with less bandwidth, live chat suits brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
