Dr Ann Steele provides an exceptional level of therapy services. My therapy sessions with Dr Ann Steele really helped me through a tough time in my life and I refer back to the tools she provided me with when I feel I am going down a slippery slope. She is warm, friendly and very understanding. She doesn't judge me and I feel at ease talking to her. 100% would recommend!
As someone who was quite anxious about the idea of therapy before going, I really appreciated Ann’s calm and non-judgemental approach. She gets the perfect balance between listening and giving advice and I have found our sessions to be invaluable. Ann also helped me with an autism diagnosis which has given me greater insight into my reactions to different situations and enabled me to take positive steps to reduce stressors in my work and personal life. I am truly grateful for Ann’s help; she has changed my opinion on therapy and I am now feeling much more positive for the future.
"Ann is a real expert in her field. She’s hugely qualified and continues to go on training courses to advance her therapy skills. Ann takes a goal based approach to keep you on track during sessions and help make sure you see noticeable improvements in your mental health within the time frame available. I started working with Ann after noticing that I was feeling anxious as a first time parent trying to juggle work and motherhood. Within a couple of months of speaking to Ann on a weekly basis I was feeling the most content I had done since becoming a mother and the relationships around me improved as a result. I will remember the tools and insights Ann shared with me with for years to come."
"I became overwhelmed with stress due and became burnt out due to challenging work situations and was referred to Dr Steele. After several sessions it became clear that I really needed to restart believing in myself more and stop blaming myself for the outside pressures. It was also important to understand why I was such a people pleaser. Dr Steele was totally amazing and by the end of my sessions with her I was confident enough to make life changing decisions and start to realise that the only really important opinion is my own. Thank you Dr Steele."
"I could not praise or thank Ann enough. I have had counselling before and not really got on with it. But when I say this has changed my life I am now doing things that a year ago I thought I would never do again. Ann made me feel so comfortable and at ease no matter how hard it was to talk some days I did not ever feel pressured or judged. I am more confident in my own feelings and my own mind from the help that Ann has given me. Don’t get me wrong you have to put the effort in and give your all to what she is teaching but it is all worth it. Thank you Ann for everything you have taught me. I feel like I am going to miss talking to you even if it wasn’t about my mental health. Anyone struggling with any problem however big or small. I know for a fact that Ann can help. She is amazing. Thank you again for everything."
"Having engaged with therapy in the past with limited success, I was initially sceptical regarding its effectiveness. After a couple of sessions with Ann this scepticism soon faded. Ann's structured and goal orientated approach really helped me to see the benefits that therapy can have and also the track progress made. Whilst the therapy is structured in its nature, it also felt open and explorative at the same time; meaning new topics could be dealt with as they arose. All done with a very calm and good humoured demeanour, I couldn't recommended Ann highly enough."
"My experience of working with Ann was very positive. I was reluctant to seek help with my issues but Ann was consistently empathetic and a good listener. This put me at ease and made our appointments more beneficial. Ann offered structured advice and guidance from a clearly deep specialist knowledge base. The sessions have left me in a more informed position and have helped to improve my quality of life. I am very grateful for this and would recommend Ann to anyone needing assistance."
"Thank you also for your unfailing attention and lightning quick responses during our many conversations, all of which I enjoyed immensely, despite the unpleasant context. It’s very rare in my experience to meet a medical professional with the skill and desire to respond to a patient as a whole person, and even rarer to meet one with such acute perception about another individual’s subjective experience, feelings and life experience. "
"Ann provided a very professional service and a comfortable environment to discuss issues I had been experiencing. She provides an evidence based approach to therapy and uses proven techniques and resources from the psychology literature. The progress I have made with her guidance has been immense and I would strongly recommend her services!"
" I was very sceptical about having therapy after a previously bad experience many years ago. I found Ann to be very warm, caring, knowledgable and patient. Over the sessions we had together, which we did remotely, I learned many skills, exercises and coping mechanisms to allow me to push forwards with life again. I also have a greater understanding of my condition, as well as acceptance for it too. Thank you Ann. You’ve given me back hope for the future!"
"I couldn't recommend Dr Ann highly enough. From our first session, Ann has been amazing. Always friendly and understanding, with a wealth of knowledge relating to mental health matters. I can truly say I am grateful to have met Ann and the positive impact it has had for me personally."
"For the first time I feel like someone listened to me and actually understood me without judging. Ann was lovely and made me feel comfortable to be myself."
"I felt so at ease and able to express myself safely knowing I was being listened to in a comfortable and professional environment."
