Individual Therapy
How are you?
- Are you feeling stressed, anxious, fearful, lonely or depressed?
- Do you have trouble standing up for youself?
- Do you feel your health, your wellbeing or your relationships at home or at work, is being affected?
- Do you find yourself experiencing panic attacks?
- Are you feeling confused in understanding your child’s challenging behaviours?
- Is your child showing signs of anxiety or feeling bullied, or lacking confidence or has low self-esteem? Has learning become difficult for him/her? Has there been any unexplained and unresolved illness
- Do you see conflict as an opportunity to deepen your relationship between you and your teenager? Are you clear on your own and your teenager’s boundaries and the role that clear and fair discipline plays in the setting of boundaries?
- Sexual Expression is one of the many ways we communicate, do you feel safe to both receive and express yourself authentically around your sexual needs?
- Is there safety and respect around sexuality at home and elsewhere in your life and in your child’s life?
- Do you struggle to know what makes you happy and can you express your needs?
- Can you stay separate from the judgement of others?
- Do you avoid saying what you need to say and do for fear of reprisal?
Finding safety, to talk about very personal issues in adulthood, often needs to begin with the experience of a strong relationship with another who can relate in an unconditional, non- judgmental manner.I provide a safe, non- judgmental support and work with you to uncover what is driving your stress and fears.
Through safe holding imbued with kindness, compassion, patience and understanding of our common humanity, we explore what is happening for you and find what works for you in the situation you are currently experiencing. You will become more conscious of your own behaviours and interactions so that you can make more conscious choices for yourself.

Couples Relationship Mentoring
A close intimate relationship can be a source of great fulfilment. Yet when the relationship becomes challenging, feelings of sadness, guilt, rejection and loneliness can ensue. Many couples find themselves stuck and unable to break the cycle of passive or aggressive behaviour towards each other. Consequently communicating and staying connected may feel impossible. When two people no longer relate their relationship is in crisis.
Couples Relationship Mentoring is an opportunity to air hurt and angry feelings in a safe, impartial and empathic environment. It can offer an opportunity for new insights into the ways you are communicating and experiencing each other, help clarify thoughts and feelings and in so doing reduce conflict in the relationship.
I provide a confidential environment, where couples can explore challenges and difficulties in their relationship. With my support you collaboratively and gently explore what is happening for each of you in your relationship with yourself and in the relationship with the other. You learn about how your own story affects your relating and develop new skills to help you listen, understand and communicate more effectively with one another.
Relationship Mentoring helps to address the following:
- Feeling blamed and criticized
- Feeling not heard, not listened to
- Lack of intimacy and sex
- Loneliness & isolation
- Communication problems
- A repeating pattern of unresolved issues
- Patterns where one or both of you experience being unheard, unseen, rejected, or lonely
- Cycles of blame and criticism
- Infidelity and breakdown of trust
One to One Work can be your choice: “Doing the Parenting Course with Anne Brannick was one of the best investments we’ve made. We did this in private sessions rather than a class. This allowed us to go deeper into our own situations and to engage in challenges and growth that we would have found difficult in a group. It is now several months since we finished the initial course and the effects are still working. The course material is concise and clear, and the Mentor’s manner was both supportive and challenging”. (Kevin O’ Kelly)

As adults, the most important relationship is the relationship with self. When we have a strong knowing of self, we can relate openly to all others; our children, partners, co-workers and the wider community.
The important issue here is that much of what drives our lives, personal or professional, lies at an unconscious level and will not come into conscious awareness until there is safety to do so.
What emerges is a realisation of our true nature and the vast intelligence and creativity which we have used to protect ourselves in the face of hurts and suffering in our lives.
