My name is Ann Bracken (MA, Grad.Dip. PG Dip. Dip.) a Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Trainer (MBSR & MBCT) and Yoga Teacher with additional training in Nutrition and Trauma Informed Psychotherapy, bringing an informed and integrated approach to healing, health and wellbeing.

I have provided Online Therapy since 2017 in Ireland, the UK and throughout Europe. I am also a Workshop facilitator, lecturer and author. I am fully accredited with IACP and BACP.

I provide a professional and caring Online Therapy via Zoom as it is fully encrypted. This includes evidence based therapy with between session resources and handouts. This means you become more empowered in your process of healing and positive change. I like to describe it as becoming your own therapist!

I am trained in several modalites of evidence based psychotherapy. These include CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Integrative Psychotherapy. Therapeutic support draws on the approach best suited to your needs and therapeutic goals.

I am also a qualified Yoga Teacher (Advanced) and hold a Diploma in Nutrition and Diet. As such, when working therapeutically, we do so through the lens of an integrated Mind & Body approach. With over 20 years experience, I have provided Psychotherapy, Supervision and Training across hospital, educational and private practice settings.  I previously lectured at Glyndŵr University, Wales and IADT (guest lecturer) in Dublin and worked with the Manchester Centre for CBT providing trauma-specialist CBT for PTSD. I also worked as a Psychotherapist within the Occupational Health Dept. of Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester and within the Dept. of Counselling and Psychotherapy in the Lister Hospital London. I also provide Leadership and Trauma Informed Training within the Trust and Safety departments within prominent technical companies based in Ireland, UK and the US.

How I Work

My Approach

Ann works in a collaborative way to support you in creating positive change in your psychological, emotional and relational wellbeing and felt sense experience. She works to understand the underlying causes and supports you may need if emotionally or relationally triggered. Using an integrative approach - drawing on CBT, Mindfulness, Positive Psychology and Mind-Body therapy - sessions are tailored to your individual needs and therapeutic goals.

Working Online

What is Online Therapy?

Online therapy is similar to in-person counselling in that you work together with your counselling psychotherapist to manage and overcome issues you would like to resolve, using online communication rather than a therapy room. Ann provides Online Therapy via Zoom (fully encrypted), offering evidence-based therapy and between-session resources and handouts suited to your needs. You can email Ann to arrange an appointment or book via the online calendar.
