Shelley Annison

I'm flexible with my availablility. Tuesday afternoons are available at the moment.

Hi I’m Shelley, a person-centred counsellor. I’ve been qualified (Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling) for a number of years, working as a freelance counsellor for different counselling organisations, under the NHS Talking Therapies contract. I am passionate in working with depression and anxiety with individual adults, but I work with a variety of issues.

I believe that talking to another person who is trained to listen, is non-judgemental and isn’t a close friend or family member can really help you organise your thoughts and explore your feelings. I create a safe, confidential space so you can discuss your issues at your own pace. My clients say that I show empathy, and I'm caring and kind. I am curious and genuinely interested in you developing your own sense of self. I enjoy working at relational depth, to try and get to the root of the issue.

‘You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.’ C.S.Lewis

I offer one to one sessions, face to face, remotely via teams, or telephone. I work from the K2 building in Hull, which is 5 minutes from the station for those who would like face to face sessions.

 I offer a free 30 minute telephone session to assess whether we are able to work together and I can meet your needs. I will explain what the next steps are and it will be up to you if you decide to book in for an appoitment.
