As a long‑term resident of Islington and Hackney, Ann‑Marie has seen first-hand how life has become more challenging over the years. This is why it feels especially meaningful for her to walk alongside others and offer therapeutic support through these times.
Ann‑Marie’s background is rooted in working with children, both as a Counsellor and now as a Health & Wellbeing Coach. She has over 20 years of experience supporting children and young people, primarily in school settings. Her journey began in schools as a play worker and teaching assistant. When her son went off to university, she decided to pursue her passion for supporting people therapeutically and trained as a counsellor. She went on to provide play therapy for children across the borough and also runs a private practice offering therapeutic support to adults.
More recently, she has worked with families in Islington.
Ann‑Marie is currently enjoying meeting new people and working alongside them to help them move toward where they want to be. She finds it truly rewarding to witness people begin to take ownership of their goals and gain the confidence to sustain the changes they want to make.
