Mrs Anna Compton

Therapeutic Counselor

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I offer a calm, supportive space to explore your inner world — easing anxiety and low mood, and warmly welcoming the unique ways each mind works, including ADHD and autism.

About Me

I am a counsellor based in London, Tottenham (N17), offering in-person and online sessions. I support adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress or burnout, and those navigating life with ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what is happening for you — at a pace that feels right.

Approach

Sessions take place in Tottenham, London (N17) or online, conducted in English, and move at a steady, thoughtful pace. My approach is warm, patient and grounded in listening — creating space to understand what feels difficult, notice patterns, and make sense of your emotional landscape together. The work is collaborative and flexible. Some sessions focus on exploring feelings or past experiences; others look gently at what is happening day-to-day and what might help you feel more settled or supported. I aim to offer a space that honours different ways of thinking, including neurodiverse experiences such as sensory needs or difficulties with overwhelm. This way of working often suits adults navigating anxiety, low mood, stress or burnout, or those wanting a calmer, more compassionate understanding of themselves.

Therapy for calm, clarity, and easing self-pressure

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of overthinking and self-criticism? You might put a lot of pressure on yourself, worry about getting things right, or find it hard to switch off. Therapy can offer a calm, supportive space to slow things down, talk things through, and make sense of what is going on for you.

In sessions, we focus on what is showing up in your day-to-day life — the thoughts that keep looping, the situations that trigger anxiety or self-doubt, and how you respond when you feel under pressure. Together, we look for more balanced, workable ways of responding so life feels more manageable and less exhausting.

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and non-judgemental. The aim is to help you feel clearer, more emotionally steady, and more able to relate to yourself with kindness and confidence.

I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and welcome both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism.

Sessions are 50 minutes.

Fees range from £50–£80, depending on circumstances (online £50–£70; in-person £65–£80). Concession spaces are available for clients on lower incomes, and this can be discussed openly.

In-person sessions take place at Mediwell Clinic, 1C Lansdowne Rd, Tottenham, London, N17 0LL.
