"Anna came into my life at the right moment. It was as though she had been ‘sent’. I had struggled for many years under the grips of alcohol wishing that it would become a very small part in my life, but not knowing how to break out of the cycle. I cannot speak more highly of Anna. She is thoroughly professional, empathetic, intuitive and very perceptive. And she has the ability to make one dig deep. Not for one moment do you feel you are being judged. In fact the complete reverse and you are given so much encouragement to be forgiving to oneself which is key, but this is also so helped by her sharing what had been her own experiences with alcohol. Words are insufficient for how much I feel indebted to her for helping me through my journey of breaking through this cycle and I can only say that I now feel in control, free and so happy. Anna is a very, very special person".

"I'd not had coaching before. Wasn't even sure what it is, but in my intro call with Anna she put me at ease and explained how it works. It's been brilliant and a total life-saver because alcohol feels like such a lonely battle and having the support of someone who gets it was amazing. Whether I end up moderating or giving it up totally, the way I think about alcohol has changed forever which I never thought possible"

"Anna has a pragmatic and empathic approach to coaching, and she manages to weave some humour in there too which helps when tackling some heavy and deep topics at times! She has such a lot of knowledge, and practical and emotional ways of helping which I have found so useful. I would highly recommend working with Anna if you want to look at your relationship with alcohol. She is an excellent coach who will put you at ease, and you will definitely feel less alone being able to talk to someone who has her own journey with alcohol. Anna is a star and I cannot thank her enough for all her help!"

"I found Anna by chance soon after my husband died. I was sceptical at first because I had tried many times over the years to change my relationship with drink and none had worked. Anna and the Naked Mind appealed because they weren't advocating sobriety which I wasn't seeking. I wanted a new relationship with alcohol - one where I was in control and not vice versa. Anna helped me enormously during the 12 weeks we worked together Her support and gentle guidance alongside the supporting literature was perfect for me. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Anna got me where I wanted to be with a new mindset to alcohol. It's part of my life now but no longer a big player and I have Anna to thank for that"

“One of the best things we have ever done. My wife and I were seeking help to understand and better frame our relationship with alcohol which over many years had slipped from enjoyment to necessity. With age it had also started to limit day to day performance and created feelings of reduced self-esteem. We reached out to Anna not knowing who she was nor how her approach might help. It was immediately apparent that we had made a great decision. Anna is a very incisive; candid yet warm and encouraging and humorous. She held our hands through the 12 week course and helped us see our relationship with alcohol and ultimately reframe our relationship with it. Our goal was never to stop drinking but to help ourselves moderate and challenge our relationship with alcohol. We feel the course has been a total success and we can't have wished for a better individual than Anna to have taken us on this journey".

" I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Anna over the past year. I wanted to address the emotions of shame and regret and the exhausting cycle of poor sleep patterns and associated anxiety. Her approach has been a revelation. Combining incredible kindness and empathy with structured frameworks around psychology and science. The depth of our work has been hugely insightful. The subsequent progress was much faster than I expected and surprisingly straightforward".

"Working with Anna has truly been a game-changer in my journey of questioning my relationship with alcohol. Her non-judgemental, accepting but gently challenging approach was exactly what I needed. I had been trying for many months on my own and but kept feeling stuck. Having accountability alongside Anna's incredible knowledge and experience of alcohol dependence has been key an enable me to consistently implement the various strategies and tools I've needed to overcome these patterns in my life, experience more freedom and feel more in control of my relationship with alcohol. Anna's coaching is expertly tailored to individual needs and I have felt truly listened to and understood by her. This has been life-changing for me and I will forever be grateful to her"

"I was very nervous when I started my sessions with Anna. Ashamed that I needed support to reduce my alcohol consumption in the first place. Worried that I would be judged. Absolutely not. Anna, even when I felt I had periods when I had ‘failed’ made me feel supported and never ever judged - more than that, if I started a session feeling low and disappointed with myself, I finished it feeling uplifted and ready to get on with the job.
I have found my sessions with Anna extremely helpful - I did not want to give up alcohol completely, rather question my relationship with it. This I have done in spades with Anna, even digging into my past to highlight WHY I have such an elusive ‘stop button’. Everything she gently questioned me about led me towards hidden clues and answers - all of them enlightening. She uses intelligent resources which I really enjoyed exploring. I know that my life going forward will be different thanks to Anna. I so enjoyed my sessions with her and found I missed them when they were over. I cannot recommend her more highly"
