anne reilly, counsellor


relationship & Couples Therapy

Counselling and psychotherapy 

Become consciously aware of who you are and why you do what you do. Learn to be calmer and kinder and make good decisions in your life. Let go of unhelpful patterns and negative behaviours.

Become aware and live a more fulfilling life.

Learn how to have a secure, fun, intimate and calm relationship that supports your personal growth and wellbeing. Heal from relationship or childhood trauma, process and move through grief and loss. Become more confident in your ability to repair conflict and become more connected with yourself and your partner as a result.

Why attend therapy?

You may be seeking a different kind of therapy.

A space where there’s no pressure to be fixed, analysed, or hurried—
but where you can slow down, feel met as you are, and gently explore what’s beneath the surface.

My approach is relational, intuitive, and deeply centred on you. Rather than following a set structure, I attune to your experience—your patterns, your inner world, and what’s emerging in the moment—and let that shape our work together.

I see the therapeutic relationship as an important part of the process. The ways we connect can reflect patterns that show up in your wider life, opening up space for insight and meaningful change.

I often work with people who experience the world deeply, think in nuanced ways, or feel outside of traditional frameworks—including neurodivergent individuals, members of LGBTQI+ communities, and those in non-monogamous relationships.

Influenced by mindfulness and Buddhist psychology, I support you to slow down and stay present with what’s here—whether that’s emotion, tension, or uncertainty—rather than turning away from it.

In our sessions, we may pause, reflect, and explore together—moving beyond surface-level patterns into deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and what matters most to you.

This way of working tends to resonate with people who are open to curiosity, reflection, and depth. It may be less aligned if you’re seeking structured, solution-focused techniques or a more directive approach.

You might be noticing that something isn’t quite working—within yourself, or in your relationships. You may have tried to make sense of it alone, only to find yourself looping back to the same place, or sensing there’s something deeper asking for your attention.

Reaching out for therapy can feel significant. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin.

If this approach speaks to you, you’re warmly invited to take the next step.
You can book an initial session or arrange a brief introductory call to see whether it feels like the right fit.

I bring over 15 years’ experience as a couples therapist, counsellor, and psychotherapist, with training in systemic, psychodynamic, and Buddhist-informed approaches.
