About Us

Ann Bracken (MA, Grad.Dip. PG Dip.) is an Online Counselling Psychotherapist, Yoga Teacher and Author. Appointments: 085 7414866

With most issues or problems we face, they impact on our thoughts, how we feel and also what we do. Therefore, the therapy I provide aims to support on all these levels:

• Positively change any unhelpful thinking patterns or self-beliefs with CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy)
• Reduce the physical stress of carrying problems and calm the nervous system with Mindfulness & Yoga skills
• Help to establish therapeutic and life goals with Positive Psychology

I provide a Mind-Body therapeutic approach to online counselling and coaching appointments. Mindfulness with CBT and Positive Psychology can support you to overcome emotional issues or problems and to gain more personal fulfilment in life and relationships. It helps you to explore and, where necessary, let go of any ways of being that may no longer serve you and to increase self-care. Yoga skills help to bring more equilibrium to body and mind and as most issues we face affect our mind and our bodies, I tend to take a more unified approach also to how we should create positive change and heal.

I provide Online Therapy via Skype, FaceTime, Telephone Counselling and Email – providing evidence based therapy and between session resources/handouts. This means you become more empowered in your process of change – you train yourself to be your own therapist!
