Ann Foster , NCPS

Ann Foster is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She practices primarily through Transactional Analysis (Psychotherapy) within a relational framework, helping people explore patterns of interaction and the underlying beliefs that shape their relationships and emotional responses.

Ann has worked with a wide range of individuals facing mental health concerns, clinical disorders, and relationship challenges. She approaches each person with respect, acceptance, empathy, and compassion, and she places the client’s needs and goals at the centre of the therapeutic work. Sessions are client led, and together with the client Ann develops a tailored treatment plan that reflects their unique circumstances and aspirations.

Recognising that seeking change takes courage, Ann supports people through the steps toward a more fulfilling life. She holds NCPS, a professional counselling registration, which signals her commitment to ongoing professional standards and practice. Ann aims to provide a supportive space where people can explore concerns and work toward meaningful change at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Ann Foster draws on client-centered therapy to place the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions, offering a warm, nonjudgmental stance that helps individuals explore their feelings and build self-understanding - this approach is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

She also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy when past traumatic experiences are central to a person’s difficulties, using targeted work to reduce the impact of trauma symptoms and support recovery from abuse or loss. In addition, Internal Family Systems helps people identify and relate to different inner parts or states, which can be useful for resolving internal conflicts, shame, and patterns that affect relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ann works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Ann is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, helping clients maintain momentum in their work from wherever they are.
