A face turned to the light — the openness that begins therapy
Therapy with Annie Kissane

A courageous choice, met with care

Individual counselling, couples counselling, and mediation — grounded in over forty years of walking alongside people through the hard and the hopeful.

Welcome. People who choose to come for therapy are making a courageous choice — to face life's challenges, to grow in self-awareness, and to potentially change the direction or the repeating patterns that have been a feature of their life so far.

That courage deserves to be met by someone who takes it seriously. Whether you are looking for individual therapy, or considering coming as a couple, the offerings here begin the same way — with an honest conversation about what has brought you, and where you are hoping to go.

Everyone is unique, and deserves respect and compassion. Drawing on a broad theoretical base, I adapt how we work together according to your needs and the nature of your experience.

Two routes into therapy

The two offerings below do different work. Choose the one that fits what you need — or get in touch and we can work out together which is the right starting point.

Individual Therapy

Individual Counselling

A held, confidential space for the work of becoming.

Individual therapy for adults — grounded in an integrative, person-centred approach with particular experience in developmental and relational trauma. A place to sit with what is difficult, to make sense of what has shaped you, and to move slowly towards the life you actually want to live.

  • Weekly or fortnightly sessions
  • In-person in Aylesbury, or online
  • Integrative approach, tailored to you
  • Trauma-informed as standard

Relationships & Mediation

Couples & Mediation

Where two people meet, and what happens between them.

Couples counselling and mediation for partners who want to understand what is happening between them — and to change it. Whether you are trying to save something, to grieve something, or to separate well, the work is the same at its core: honest conversation, held with warmth and rigour.

  • Couples counselling for partners in ongoing relationship
  • Mediation for those navigating separation
  • In-person or online
  • Confidential, unhurried, honest

What you can expect, whichever route you take

Confidentiality
What is brought into the room stays there, within the standard professional exceptions.
Warmth
A held space where you can bring the difficult and the ordinary alike.
Integrity
Honest work, not agreement for its own sake. Real conversation, in service of real change.
Depth
Grounded in forty years of experience, and in the reflective practice that keeps me learning too.

The skill, I have come to think, is not in escaping the hard feelings but in holding them in balance with other truths — and that takes constant awareness and adjustment.

Ready to talk?

Every therapy relationship begins with a conversation. Email or call — no obligation, and I read every enquiry personally.

Let us walk together for a while.
