About Ann-Marie
Ann-Marie Ritchie is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulty, family strain, grief, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Her approach asks clients to name what matters and use their own strengths to manage day-to-day difficulties.
Ann-Marie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to the problem you bring, then helps break it into manageable steps. She combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work to tackle patterns that cause repeated conflict or upset.
In sessions she often helps people notice how thoughts and actions feed frustration. Then she works with clients to test small changes and build clearer ways of responding. This can include trying new ways to speak up, practised breathing or simple action plans to reduce repeated triggers.
Ann-Marie also supports people through loss and role changes that can stir anger or low mood. She offers a reflective but direct style aimed at improving how someone copes with setbacks and relationship strain. The focus is on practical steps that fit daily life.
Her background in client-centred, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused methods means sessions balance listening with active problem solving. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. To start, clients follow the site's sign-up and matching process to arrange a first session.
How Ann-Marie uses practical approaches online
Ann-Marie draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage anger and related issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them speak about what matters without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers straightforward techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and building on what already works. Sessions that use this approach often end with clear next steps so clients can try new behaviours between meetings. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the process; Ann-Marie will work with clients to choose approaches that suit their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people pick meetings that match quieter times or use less bandwidth if required. Registered or accredited professionals like Ann-Marie can adapt techniques to an online setting so practical exercises and step-by-step plans remain useful.
