I am Anne Glynn, a BACP accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and have worked with many clients who have sought help with a wide range of problems such as abuse, addiction, anxiety, bereavement, depression, intrusive thoughts, difficulties in relationships and sexuality. I firmly believe that talking to a sensitive and skilled listener can make a real difference. I also maintain that one of the most important factors in your therapy is the relationship you establish with your counsellor. Therefore, I aim to offer you my undivided attention and will do my best to understand you, your inner world and the things which trouble or confuse you. At Canary Wharf Therapy I work integratively which means that I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches but I am most influenced by psychodynamic ways of understanding distress. In other words, I will be interested to explore with you how the past may be affecting you in the present, how your original styles of attachment might influence current relationships and the defences that you may have developed to protect yourself. I may challenge you and I will support you in changes which you might then decide you want to make. I work as a Counsellor/Psychotherapist with individuals affected by problem gambling and I have supervised the work of other Counsellors at the service. I am also Staff Counsellor at Goldsmiths University and I am an online therapist with an organisation called Big White Wall which is allied to The Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. I have worked as an NHS Staff Support Therapist, I have provided counselling to NHS GP patients and have been a Palliative Care Counsellor at a hospice working with people with life limiting illnesses. I am currently an EAP Affiliate Therapist and an Associate Therapist in a service which offers counselling to clergy and their families. Before qualifying as a counsellor/psychotherapist I worked for over 20 years as an English teacher and Head of Year in inner London secondary schools.
