About Anna Atkin

About me

My name is Anna Atkin and let’s take this journey together! My speciality is working with Alcohol and other drug addictions and I am DBT informed. As an experienced Supervisor and Counsellor, I am passionate about working alongside you on your journey.

I have over 15 years experience as a Counsellor, particularly in the AOD sector, working with adults and youth, also being trained in Grief and Loss, Eating disorders and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.

My interests are in providing counselling to people who are diagnosed with Alcohol and drug addiction and borderline personality disorder, as well as providing professional supervision to those working in the sector.

I can support counsellors to navigate the AOD sector and any client struggling with addiction.

I look forward to meeting you.
