Anna Davis

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

Welcome

I offer supportive, insightful and transformative counselling. By creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, it is possible to recover from painful, emotional or traumatic life experiences, and move forwards with greater awareness, confidence and well-being.

Through a process of sensitive exploration and reflection, we work together to understand and resolve personal difficulties, increase self-awareness and gain helpful strategies to maintain your mental and emotional health into the future.

Alongside talking therapy, I may also incorporate somatic exercises, creativity or mindfulness techniques if appropriate.

With my many years as a meditation practitioner and teaching groups to relax into their authentic selves through movement and discussion, I believe that counselling can also be a space for exploration of spirituality, life transitions, relationships, personal growth and self-development.

Therapeutic Counselling Supervision

Supervision provides a confidential opportunity to explore in depth the implicit and subtle dynamics that arise within the professional counselling role. My approach is non-judgemental and enquiring, facilitating both personal and professional growth.
Supportive supervision helps to maintain ethical boundaries and encourages therapists to clarify and enhance their strengths and training, which in turn benefits their client’s process.

Personalised Qigong and meditation

Individual and personalised Qigong sessions will enable you to develop sensitivity and awareness of energy, learn gentle, powerful exercises and increase relaxation, health, meditation and balance. The sessions are informed by principles from Taoist philosophy and Vajrayana Buddhism.

Qualifications and experience

L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Level 5 Diploma in working with children and young people with emotional trauma. Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Counselling Supervision. Foundation in teaching Tai chi and Qigong.

I have been running my private counselling practice, Spirals Counselling Service, since 2011 and have worked for CLEAR - Emotional Trauma & Therapy Specialists since 2019, supporting children, young people and adults. I also provide parental support and psycho-education around trauma.

My initial training was in Person-Centred Counselling which provides the foundation to my approach, although I now consider myself Pluralistic as I integrate influences from Trauma training, Somatic awareness, Transactional Analysis and creative expression into my practice.

My Counselling approach is informed and enriched by being an Ordained Buddhist, Artist (BA (Hons) in Fine Art), and Tai Chi and Qigong teacher with over thirty years’ experience.
