Anna Lees
BABCP-accredited CBT Psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner supporting adults with anxiety, trauma, OCD, and addictions.
I bring a professional background in both psychiatry and general medicine, with extensive experience supporting people facing a wide range of psychological and physical challenges. Since training as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in 2009, I have worked across the NHS, private practice, and residential rehabilitation, supporting individuals to make meaningful and sustainable change.
How I work
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and firmly grounded in evidence-based practice. I work alongside clients to develop a shared understanding of their difficulties and to build practical skills that support resilience, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.
Alongside CBT, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a highly effective therapy for PTSD and a range of anxiety-related difficulties. I integrate these approaches thoughtfully, according to each person’s needs and goals.
Areas I support
Anxiety and depression
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Post-traumatic stress and trauma
Addictions
Specific phobias (including dental phobia)
Who I work with
Adults of all ages (from late teens through to post-retirement)
