Anna Loughrey Social Worker

clinic location

Overview

Hi I’m Anna. I work with people of all gender identities, languages and faiths, from age 16 onwards, who present with stress/anxiety, fatigue, mood swings, low mood, depression, low self-esteem, brain fog, unwanted habits / addictions or are managing one or more life transition such as: recent or historical trauma, grief or loss, unemployment, menopause, ill-health. I support people who find themselves at a threshold who seek a place to land, soften, and listen inwardly. Perhaps you sense there is more to your story than struggle alone such as a longing for steadiness, clarity, and self-kindness. You may be curious about the landscapes of your inner world and open to exploring them through mindfulness, gentle inquiry, and the wisdom of the body. If this sounds like you, then together, we will follow what matters most to you, uncovering strengths, tending to vulnerabilities, and growing toward a life that feels more grounded, spacious, and true.
