Anna Askew

My communication style

My style of communication is a combination of assertiveness and empathy, compassionate and honest, while still being kind. I like to create a mindful space where clients feel they can be open and authentic, and where they can be heard without judgment. A space that fosters a collaborative therapy alliance between client and therapist.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been a good listener, paying attention to others, showing empathy and wishing for their distress to end and for them to feel more at ease. Friends confide in me, knowing I listen non-judgmentally and keep things confidential. My wish is to help others become aware of their true nature.

My goals for you

I believe in setting goals for therapy together, between you as the client and me as the therapist. As we gain clarity into what you would like to work on and what you would like from therapy, we can collaborate to create your treatment goals.

Our first session

During our first session, I would like to get to know you and what brought you to therapy at that time. I understand that starting something new can be overwhelming, so I would guide you and ask some questions, respecting where you are on your journey. Over time, we will find our rhythm and develop a collaborative therapy alliance.
