Counsellors at ACT
With the belief that everyone is different, Sally is a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor which allows her to draw on a variety of theory and techniques to best suit the individual client she is working with.
Her aim is to create an environment where her clients feel safe and comfortable to honestly explore the reasons as to why they have decided to seek out counselling. Within this environment she supports them in their journey to reach a more fulfilled and happier way of being.
Sally has experience of working with a breadth of presenting issues but has a particular interest in working with people to identify outdated coping strategies, assisting them to find the self-empowerment to break away from inhibiting patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
She also has an interest in relationships and specifically how we are in relationships, as this can impact our personal wellbeing.
When not working in private practice, Sally volunteers at a low cost counselling service in Bedfordshire.

The core principle of Gestalt counsellingis that of wholeness:so together you will explore thoughts, feelings, perceptions, behaviour, body sensation and environment as a whole as well as the interaction of all these elements. This coupled with a person centred counselling approach ensures that the work is led by you as well as offering opportunity for different perspectives and challenge.

Annalee's general counselling experience spans a wide range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss of identity, workplace and family issues. Before qualifying as a counsellor Annalee worked in commercial roles for various large organisations, so also has a good understanding of the workplace environment and associated dynamics.
Annalee works with adults in a relational way, building a trusting and safe relationship where you can say the unsaid, explore difficult feelings, complex or unfathomable situations and relationships. This will usually involve an exploration of your past and present experience of the world, looking at repeating and unhelpful patterns of behaviour, who and where you are now as well as possibilities for change.
At ACT, Annalee offers 50 minute sessions with individual adults and is happy to have an initial half hour telephone consultation before you meet.
