Laura Millington
Therapist
I was very skeptical going for therapy and if it would actually help me but I can honestly say it’s blown my mind how much Anna has helped me. With every session I felt better in myself and Anna has given me a new look on how to deal with things that caused my anxiety. I highly recommend Anna and will return in the future if I need help with anything else. More...

Thank you Laura, I'm so glad you for you - its an honour and a privilege to do this work.

Having never had therapy before I was really unsure about where to start, how it worked, and how I'd find it. I was also largely sceptical, and had a sense of dread about actually going through with it, but I soon realised this hadn't been necessary because Anna was really reassuring, and made me feel at ease throughout our sessions together. I definitely feel like she's helped with the anxiety I was experiencing, and I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future if needed. More...

Anna is amazing, she’s really kind and calming to speak to.
Before our session I was struggling with regulating my emotions and felt it was all getting on top of me but with the tools she provided me with I am now able to deal with these emotions better and feel more at ease. Would recommend Anna :)

Anna was great, I had 2 sessions with Anna and I felt such relief in a short space of time. I was struggling with short term ptsd from loosing a family member suddenly and having the sessions put my mind at ease and I can now process my grief and find myself again! Thank you Anna x

Anna was very attentive and able to understand my needs, I will move forward with the therapy as I believe Anna will be able to help me further.

I approached Anna as I was struggling with self doubt after a recent job loss. Anna helped me to uncover how these feelings were linked to an emotional response I had forged in childhood. Using BWRT, she helped me break the link between link to that childhood emotional response and it was amazing, the anxiety and fear that i felt has gone. Having a BWRT session was like flicking a switch to turn off those negative feelings and I would strongly recommend working with Anna. More...

Anna has been a huge inspiration to my journey; she is patient, informative and really takes the time to get into the core of the the issues I had.
This is a full circle of self-care and awareness of how to peel away negative triggers and habits that impact your mind and body.
I am really grateful for the positive outcomes I have taken away from our sessions, as well as the life changing actions I have been able to unlock.
My ongoing journey has been made easier with the tools Anna has gifted me, and I am very thankful to have met her and to have had this opportunity to find “me” again.

Before working with Anna I was in a stressful job, overweight and unable to motivate myself to exercise. Even though I thought I was eating relatively healthily I was exhausted and had started to feel ill. As soon as I spoke with Anna I could feel my mindset shifting. It has been transformational. I was astonished by how effective BWRT - it completely changed how I felt about something. I cannot recommend Anna highly enough. It’s been one of the most important investments I’ve ever made.

I am in my 60’s and following childhood trauma, have spent each decade trying to find effective counseling. Talking (in my experience) changed nothing.
Time spent with Anna, being taken through BWRT changed everything.
Anna is so patient, so down to earth, kindly and calmly responding to my negative behaviour and whatever I chose to talk about. She is professional and generous with time.
We sometimes struggle to spend money on ourselves but this, for me, has been money very well spent and I would encourage anyone to take that next step with Anna.

What do you love most about your job?
Helping clients to make changes that have a hugely profound effect on their enjoyment of life is my absolute passion.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I left my corporate job because I felt a profound lack of purpose. Over the past decade, groundbreaking research has greatly enhanced our understanding of the powerful links between emotional and physical health.
Motivated by this knowledge, I retrained as a health coach and BWRT therapist to empower individuals to make transformative changes.
My goal is to help people improve their well-being and significantly enhance their enjoyment and quality of life.
Why should our clients choose you?
Research indicates that over 80% of all chronic diseases are caused by stress. The mind and body are intricately connected, with each influencing the other in profound ways. Chronic stress can lead to a cascade of physical health issues, including elevated blood pressure, weight gain or loss, and a weakened immune system.
As a BWRT Therapist and Health Coach - I can help you address and improve both your mental and physical health.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes - I provide services both in-person from my practice rooms based in Stroud - or online using Zoom.

Health Coaching
The mind and body are intricately connected, with each influencing the other in profound ways. Chronic stress can lead to a cascade of physical health issues, including elevated blood pressure, weight gain or loss, and a weakened immune system.
When we're stressed, our bodies release cortisol, a hormone that, over time, can disrupt various bodily functions, leading to issues such as hypertension, increased abdominal fat, and even heightened risk for heart disease.
By addressing both your mental and physical health, I can support you to create a balanced, healthier life, reducing the negative impacts of stress on your body.
Biomarker Blood Testing
I work with one of the leading blood testing laboratories in the UK and routinely test for vitamin deficiencies and hormonal imbalances that often contribute to challenges with anxiety, mental health, brain fog, weight, sleep and fatigue in midlife women.
