I'm enjoying using EMDR alone or in combination with CBT with my clients. EMDR helps to process the touchstone memories where beliefs changed. Here is a testimonial about EMDR by Francis, Chorley:

I started work with EMDR after having CBT therapy with Anna and was a little unsure of it would work for me. It's safe to say it definitely did and after years of therapy in various forms, EMDR has been the thing that has made the most difference combined with the CBT techniques I already knew. It allowed me to get to the root of problems and build confidence in areas I didn't think I could - I couldn't recommend it and Anna enough!

A testimonial by Chloe who has just completed a combination of CBT and EMDR Therapy.

Therapy for me has been such a rollercoaster experience but in the positive way. I came to Anna in search of anything or something and during the 2 months I've been working alongside her, I've learned how to understand my behaviours and thinking patterns that were detrimental and only causing me and others around me harm. My anxiety and depression has been the best it's been thanks to Anna teaching me ways to cope. It's very important to remember that you have to do this and that results won't come straight away but in the long run it's beneficial and literally can change your life.

The EDMR helped me alot more than what I thought. It's hard and it's meant to really make you dig deep subconsciously and to uproot the beginnings of unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviour and negatives rules we live our lives in. Putting to bed all the traumatic negative experiences you've had in your life and choosing it to not affect your present life and come to terms with the person you want to be by directing your attention to somewhere else - Chloe

I ask all my clients at discharge for a testimonial of how they have found therapy so that new clients can decide if they want CBT with myself. Here's a testimonial by Andy who completed therapy this week.

I was recommended to Anna by a friend and was a little apprehensive about making the call as I had reservations on how CBT therapy could help me. I am so glad I did make that initial call. I felt like Anna understood me, helped me to identify the reasons behind my anxiety and gave me all the tools I needed to be able to get through each day without battling with my mind and feeling bad about myself. I feel clearer, more focused but most importantly I know my own mind, my triggers and how to deal with them. Each week I could feel the anxiety levels I had decreasing and now I feel like I am in control, have self-worth and am confident. I cannot thank you enough.

A lovely testimonial by Gary, Chorley.

I started using Anna’s therapy sessions when I was experiencing anxious thoughts. Anna was easy to talk to and helped me to understand my worries and showed me techniques which could help alleviate them. I’ve found these to be really helpful and I can’t thank her enough for it. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone who is thinking about looking to work with a therapist.

A testimonial by Holly, Chorley. Great to get such lovely feedback. CBT can be really effective if you practice the recommended techniques. See my full website www.ashworthcbt.co.uk for more details.

I contacted Anna after years of anxiety and ocd type checking, I had been putting off therapy for a long time as I was nervous and thought I didn't have any 'real problems.'
Anna made me feel at ease right from the get go, she helped me understand where these feelings were coming from and how to tackle them, I am now well equipped with many techniques to help me when the anxiety tries to creep back in!
Looking back I was never truly enjoying myself because I was letting the worry take over however since therapy I have managed to start my hobbies again, I no longer dread leaving the house and I am living in the moment.
Everyone has noticed a difference in me and I can't thank you enough Anna! Would recommend you in a heartbeat!

A lovely testimonial by Francis, Adlington.

Therapy has really helped me gain a better understanding of myself, other people and the situations around me. I’ve been able to use the skills and techniques I’ve learned in day to day life and I’ve noticed a significant difference since starting my sessions with Anna - I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to start their journey.

A lovely testimonial by Steve, Lancaster who accessed remote therapy by video.

As I had not had therapy before, I was a little nervous to start with and didn’t really know what to expect, but Anna immediately put me at ease. She explained everything really well and always made me feel like I was in charge. The sessions with Anna really helped me understand what causes my anxiety and identify the triggers. I was able to use the techniques and strategies she taught me straight-away, and within a few weeks I could already see improvements. Anna was always empathetic and extremely knowledgeable. I am also very grateful for the materials she sent me after every session, which helped me learn more about the different topics.



I started therapy after having struggled with anxiety for years, and also right before a big change in my life – without our sessions I may not have felt strong enough to go through with it. I also loved that we were able to hold the sessions online. I am truly grateful for how much CBT has helped me and can’t recommend Anna highly enough!

A lovely testimonial by Ella, Chorley.

I came to Anna after struggling with anxiety for years, since the first appointment with Anna I felt at ease and I was able to open up to her. The sessions really opened my eyes to how the brain deals with stress and anxiety. She gave me coping mechanisms which have built my confidence and I am now at a stage where I can manage my anxiety each day continuing different tasks at ease which life may throw at me. I can’t thank her enough and I would recommend to anyone who is experiencing anxiety or other mental health struggles.

A lovely testimonial by Daisy, Chorley.

Thank you for helping me with my depression, anxiety, my OCD, and my life in general! It has helped me so much and using your techniques has allowed me to be anxiety free for sooo many months now, which has never happened. I'll continue to use everything you've taught me!

I've enjoyed our sessions & I'm sad they're ending but I've come out a happier & stronger person because of them. Thank you again!
