Anne Marie Barlow Psychotherapist

“Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.” – Buddha

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for 15 years; my main areas of of experience are with:

• Trauma,
• Mental unrest,
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Abuse,
• Relationship difficulties,
• Eating disorders,
• Self harm,
• Inter-generational trauma
• Learning disabilities and difficulties

I am passionate and committed to supporting people develop a better sense of compassionate awareness within relation to themselves. I believe within each of us lies the potential for healing and change, no matter what the circumstances or how deep or dark the depths of trauma and experience may be. Sometimes we need the support of someone who is familiar with the territory, to help us navigate our way through certain stages of life and to process past events that have caused pain and suffering, and that might be leading to difficulties in the present.

I work in a relational, mindful, authentic and compassionate way, helping you to find your bearings and work through anything which causes suffering.

In 2005 I completed a Masters Degree in Drama and Movement Psychotherapy. From this I gained extensive experience of working with a wide range of trauma within the charity sector and in educational settings.

I qualified as a Creative Arts Clinical Supervisor in 2010 and have worked within private practice since then. I also supervise creative arts therapy students and I am currently teaching on the Drama and Movement Therapy course at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

In 2017 I qualified as Systemic Family Practitioner, this enabled me to work with families and couples.

In 2019 I completed my Masters degree in Integrative Psychotherapy.

I currently work in private practice with adults.

I am a member with the professional registering bodies UK Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) and The Health Professions Council (HCPC).
