About Ann
Ann Patmore is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD and addiction issues. Ann also addresses relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger and the strain of life changes.
She often meets people who are adjusting to a late ADHD diagnosis in adulthood and who need practical help with focus, concentration and motivation. She talks through concrete strategies for managing everyday tasks and improving confidence. Guilt and shame are listed among the issues she supports people to address.
Ann adapts the way she talks and plans sessions to the person sat across from her. That means practical discussion about what is working and what is not. She aims to be respectful and sensitive while helping people set realistic next steps.
Sessions can include looking at patterns in relationships and family dynamics, and finding better ways to communicate. For those coping with trauma, she works alongside them to address immediate coping and longer-term adjustments. For ADHD she focuses on improving concentration and memory through straightforward strategies.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and booking an initial session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Ann works with evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. One common approach she uses is skills-based work to improve concentration and organisation for adults with ADHD, which looks at routines, task breakdown and memory aids to reduce overwhelm. A second approach addresses anxiety and stress by helping people spot unhelpful thought patterns and practise calmer responses, using structured exercises and short behavioural steps.Choosing which approach suits someone is a collaborative process. Ann will discuss goals, preferences and how problems show up in daily life, then try methods that fit those priorities. The plan can change as needs become clearer and as the person notices what helps.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting or travel, and it can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone sessions require less bandwidth, while video can help with visual cues during difficult conversations. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use a mix of approaches to suit everyday life rather than promise a single solution.
