About
Anna de Vreede is an accredited CBT therapist. She holds a Master’s degree in cognitive behavioural psychotherapy, and her Master's dissertation was an autoethnographic study critically reflecting and analysing the impact of sexual abuse in family systems.
Her hope is to share her understanding of the issues that arise within this field and bring specialist knowledge to her psychotherapy practice, which was further supported by voluntary work in this field. The research undertaken has enabled Anna to gain a deeper level of critical reflective awareness and theoretical understanding as a professional cognitive behavioural psychotherapist.
Anna works with adolescents, young people and adults that are struggling with a range of mental health difficulties. She believes her ability to establish therapeutic alliances with clients is one of her greatest strengths as a practitioner. Her education, training and experience in multiple different settings means she is able to relate to what you might need, allowing therapist and client to create an effective treatment plan together.
Anna has a collaborative approach as she knows that you are the expert of your experiences. She will work together with you to find the tools and techniques that will best help you, and is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care. She focuses on empowering the people she works with, and utilises evidence-based techniques to challenge negative thought patterns, promote self-expression, and facilitate personal growth. She is passionate about supporting people to achieve their goals.
Anna creates a safe and nurturing space where understanding of difficulties is achieved, resilience is built, and effective treatment takes place.
