From the very first phone call I felt at ease and already started opening up on why I was seeking counselling. The environment is very relaxed and talking to Anne was very easy and within now 3 weeks we've worked through a few problems of mine and we put actions in place to help dealing with my frustrations and already seeing results and feeling happy. I really do recommend having a chat with her. More...

I started seeing Anne Mette during a period when my anxiety and insomnia were intensifying to the point where I felt utterly helpless. Evenings filled me with dread, and I struggled with a sense of isolation, worrying that this might become my new norm. However, after our initial session, I felt a sense of peace and hope, and I started to believe in the possibility of reclaiming control over my life. I continued with both in-person and online sessions, and throughout, I found a sanctuary in Anne Mette's presence, where I could openly discuss my concerns. Her guidance and the tools she shared have equipped me to confront and manage my anxiety, enabling me to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience. While occasional bouts of anxiety still arise, I've successfully employed the strategies she has taught me, allowing me to handle these moments independently. I also know that she is there if I ever needed more guidance and help. More...

Anne-Mette is really helping me on my journey to finding myself. Working on past experiences, dealing with them and helping me overcome my anxiety with past and present. I feel completely safe when we have our sessions and helps me with how to say how I am feeling. Even when I struggle to know what to say, Anne-Mette always helps me find a way. More...

Anne Mette has been so easy to talk to and professional. I have been through the toughest, challenging and emotional rollercoaster recently and was in desperate need of support and grounding and I found that with Anne Mette’s incredibly calm, kind, professional, reassuring guidance. I feel like “me” again and am truly thankful I found her and I intend to continue working with her. More...

I would give Anne-Mette 10 stars if I could, she is such an amazing person. Im currently going through a breakup that I was really struggling with and she has both listened to me and help me feel not so alone. She’s taught me how to care for myself and how to allow myself to feel my feelings rather than push them to the back of my mind. Would highly recommend her. More...

Everyone who has experienced love has,most likely faced a painful break up.
Anne-Mette played an essential role in helping my 17years daughter manage with a painful break up and the associated extreme emotions she struggled to cope with.
I highly recommend Anne-Mette because on my point of view as a mum , she was the only one that helped me to give my daughter smile again.
Thank you Anne-Mette.

I highly recommend Anne-Mette, she really supported and guided me through different areas I felt that I needed assistance in. She made me feel so at ease and supported throughout, she truly taught me things that I will continue to use and remember for the rest of my life. Her coaching taught me a new perspective which I am extremely grateful for. Thank you again Anne-Mette! More...

I am so pleased that i decided to reach out to Anne-mette at Taking a Deep Breath.
In just 6weeks Anne-mette has helped me become a happier/stronger and more confident woman/mother and wife.
I have grown so much in 6 weeks that there are not enough words to explain the changes in me. This has also had a knock on affect with my family, especially my middle daughter (6) who’s behaviour has hugely changed for the better, I truly believe she sees positive changes in myself and this is having a positive affect on her.
I can not thank Anne-mette enough for helping me steady my self and return to my path with strength and confidence.

Anne-Mette, is brilliant i signed up today and got a session in the same day. I have tried this before with another therapist and was very bad.
This time over I felt calm and left with a positive outlook and look forward to making changes. It’s going to be a long road but with Anne-Mette’s help I’m sure this is possible.
Thank you

I was very sceptical at the start of this journey. Anne almost immediately got me. She gave me the space and security to talk and think. She helped me really understand myself better and really shone a light on so many aspects of my life and my behaviour. I will continue to keep in touch with Anne and continue the journey she's helped me begin. More...

Is it true to say that Anne-Mette is an amazing life-coach. She is so kind, friendly and patient. The sessions with her helped me truly move forward with what I am doing and want to do further.
Working with Anne-Mette was a life-changing experience. She helped me to reach a new level in my career that I finally succeed in starting my own business practice.
Also, she helped me discover what is working for me to be more productive and how I can achieve my purposes easier. Thanks to her, I realised what actions should I take to live better.
She has shown me how to avoid criticising myself. I trust myself more than ever now. She provided me with tools, processes and plans for personal growth, especially in self-esteem. She helped me understand my highly sensitive personality, thus I fully accept myself as a worthy person. The key is to not give up, stay strong and do what I do in the way I can.
I've achieved and challenged my life pathway by being more open and active. Her techniques allow my strengths to be realised.
Now, I am a more confident, successful and fulfilled woman. I am doing so well since our first session. Everything is a process, and when I started this I could not stop or go back.
Work with Anne-Mette was an amazing and valuable experience.

I recently had an introductory coaching session with Anne-Mette. She has a gently encouraging coaching style which allowed me to relax and engage with the process. During the session, I was able to think more clearly about my options and see them in different ways. Anne-Mette helped me to devise a follow-up exercise, which I have been practicing daily, that has really helped me to think more positively. The session itself helped me to make decisions about lifestyle and career questions that I have been wrestling with for some time. I would recommend her to anyone else who is struggling with a difficult decision or needs to build confidence. More...

Anne-Mette is a caring, experienced professional. She reached out to me after seeing my ad and I instantly felt connected. She provides a warm, clean, relaxing environment with fresh water waiting for you. In just a few sessions I am already feeling the benefits. I have a grown a new outlook on love, life and my career. If you're looking for someone to listen, talk and encourage you to express who you are, understand your thoughts/emotions/experiences then look no further. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love the real difference I can help create with my clients to live better, happier lives !
I love my clients feed-back on how coaching has made a huge difference in their life.
How their confidence is growing;
How they have become unstuck;
How they are moving on achieving what is important for them;
How they have come to like themselves,
How they have come to love their life.
See more under the testimonial section on my website for some of the feed-back from my clients. takingadeepbreath.com
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always loved working with people - worked 30+ years in social work and in mental health.
Times has changed and I no longer felt I was able to help create the difference I wanted.
I was getting exhausted, the environment was impacting me too and burnout was approaching.
I decided to do what I loved - qualifying as a coach and setting up a coaching business instead so I could continue to offer my services to those who wanted help to create their own better worlds.
Why should our clients choose you?
My clients have described me as professional, kind, reflective, intuitive and patient.
As somebody who listens and helps them to find their own solutions by asking questions.
I will help show you where to look but will not tell you what to see.
Many 40+ choose to work with me; often in relation to a set back; divorce/break-up; burnout; health-issues; confidence; becoming up-stuck. Most are issues which I myself have experienced.
My professional background with 30+ years in mental health and children services gives me a unique perspective, as I have an in-depth understanding and will be in a better position to support you with some of the struggles you have/are experiencing.
I am dyslexic and know about the challenges that I have to manage and overcome. On a positive note it also helps me to be have an open mind, creative and to be non-judgmental of others who also may have struggles that may or may not be visible.
I have experienced the transition it is to move from one country to another and would better be able to understand what challenges that could pose - whilst knowing everybody's experience is different.
Ultimately, all my clients wants to better understand themselves to find ways to create the life they desire and that is what I love and am committed to helping you with.
