Welcome to Anna Compton Therapy
Overthinking everything? Feeling anxious, self-critical, and stuck in your head?
I help you make sense of your thoughts, ease the mental noise, and feel calmer and more in control of your life
BACP-registered counsellor offering in-person sessions in Tottenham and online across the UK.
You might be feeling like this…
You spend a lot of time overthinking conversations or decisions, replaying things in your mind afterwards
You feel stuck in your own head and find it hard to properly switch off
You’re often hard on yourself, with a stream of self-critical thoughts
You worry about what other people think of you, and second-guess how you come across
Anxiety sometimes stops you from doing things you’d like to — especially socially
You feel frustrated that you’re not enjoying life as much as you “should” be
On the outside, things might look fine — but it doesn’t quite feel that way inside.
How therapy with me can help
Understand what gets in the way of living a calmer, happier, and more balanced life —
and find more workable ways to handle everyday challenges.
Working together, therapy can help you to:
Make sense of why you react the way you do,
so overthinking feels less overwhelming, and you’re not constantly second-guessing yourself
Feel calmer and more steady in day-to-day life
even in situations that would usually trigger anxiety or stress
Feel more at ease around other people
with less worry about what others think, and more confidence to be yourself
Be less driven by self-criticism
and start responding to yourself with more understanding and compassion
Manage anxious thoughts and emotions more easily
without feeling taken over by them or needing to avoid situations
Feel clearer about who you are and what you need
so you can make decisions with more confidence and trust yourself more
ABOUT ME
I support adults who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, anxiety, self-criticism, or low mood — often while managing the pressures of everyday life, work, or relationships.
You might feel like things look “fine” on the outside, but internally it’s harder than it should be — with a constant stream of thoughts, worries, or self-doubt that are difficult to switch off.
Together, we take time to gently understand what’s going on for you — including where these patterns come from — and find ways of responding that feel more manageable, balanced, and kind.
My approach is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic, person-centred, and cognitive behavioural therapies. I work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating a space for reflection, understanding, and meaningful change.
I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way and welcome both neurotypical and neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD or autism.
How we might work together
I offer single and ongoing counselling sessions, both online and in person. Single sessions can be a practical way to experience counselling without commitment, or to focus on a specific situation.
For ongoing work, sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly, depending on what feels helpful for you. This offers space to explore things more deeply over time and to develop resilience and confidence.
