Welcome, and thank you for visiting our website.
My name is Annika and I am the founder of Working Through Trauma Therapy Ltd.
I am a Trauma Informed Therapeutic Counsellor / Psychotherapist providing both short and long-term therapy to young people, adults, older adults, couples and groups online or via telephone in the UK.
About Me
I am an experienced Person-Centred counsellor with a warm and compassionate personality. In order to help our clients manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviour with a clear understanding of the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and soul, I give them the freedom to understand themselves and their problems on a deeper level.
In addition, I have 15 years of professional experience working in hospitals, community, and NHS support settings. During this time, I have helped many people and their families deal with a range of difficulties, such as loss, grief, end of life and bereavement, health issues, addiction, mental health problems, physical disabilities and learning needs.
I have worked in youth centres, where I supported parents and vulnerable children, and I have a great deal of experience providing emotional support to detainees in police stations across Greater Manchester.
I’ve also worked with a diverse range of young adults and adults who have experienced trauma, trauma related to crime or gangs, grooming, PTSD, substance abuse, alcoholism, homelessness, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), family and relationships, sexuality, challenges in the work place or educational setting and other common stresses that people encounter in their daily lives.
A problem shared...
No two clients are the same, and no one size fits all. To best meet your goals, we customise our work to each client's unique needs, drawing from a range of therapeutic ideas and approaches.
Speak in confidence...
Whether you are managing relationships, families, and the responsibilities of life, or you are feeling overtaken by emotions, you will be made to feel welcome in a safe, non-judgemental environment where you are heard, understood, and believed.
Making positive choices...
Life can throw many obstacles in our path because it's not always clear-cut and as simple as we'd like it to be. Together, we will establish your objectives and work towards implementing positive changes.
Talk To Us
Before we engage into a therapy agreement, we will complete a counselling assessment prior to the first session to make sure that counselling and my style of working are the right fit for you.
The counselling assessment will enable us to learn more about your background and goals for the therapy relationship. If you are comfortable moving forward, we will arrange your first session.
Your First Session
Whether you join us online, via telephone or explore outdoor therapy to start your path towards healing via self-discovery, here at Working Through Trauma we believe that It's Never Too Late to seek therapy, and by doing so, you will receive the resources and tools necessary to support you in reestablishing your connection to your mind, body and soul.
Following the counselling assessment, we will go over the counselling agreement, which outlines the responsibilities that we each have as client and counsellor in the therapeutic relationship. This includes fees, sessions, confidentiality, cancellations, and if you do not attend etc.
