About Ann
Ann Foster is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered in the UK with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, issues around intimacy and anger. Sessions are client led and focus on the concerns the person brings to the room.
Ann uses a relational way of working rooted in Transactional Analysis alongside other approaches she practises. In sessions she keeps the client’s needs and goals front and centre. She uses conversation to map patterns, notice what repeats, and try different ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Her background includes work with a broad range of mental health concerns and relationship difficulties. That has given her practical experience with issues such as eating problems, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar mood challenges and compassion fatigue. She also lists additional focus areas such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and coping after disasters.
Ann prefers sessions led by the client so goals are set together. She works through how past relationships and internal parts shape present reactions. This can help people understand anger, communication problems, control issues and attachment patterns.
People who meet with Ann can expect clear, direct conversation about what gets in the way. She helps identify small changes to try between sessions. The emphasis is on practical steps and gradual change rather than quick fixes.

Ann will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adapting the plan as therapy progresses.
