About Me
Welcome to The Aligned Self.
I’m Annamarie, a therapist offering a thoughtful, affirming space for people who have often felt a little out of step with the world around them.
Many of the people I work with identify as neurodivergent, whether formally diagnosed or self-identified, and often come to this understanding later in life. They may have spent years adapting, masking, or pushing themselves to cope, without fully understanding why life can feel more intense, exhausting, or overwhelming than it seems to for others.
You might recognise yourself as sensitive, intuitive, deeply reflective, or prone to overthinking. You may have always felt “different”, without quite having the language for it.
I believe therapy is a form of alchemy, a space where insight, presence, and connection can spark profound and lasting transformation, supporting you to understand yourself more fully and move through life with a greater sense of ease and clarity.
Therapy Approach
I work with people navigating patterns that no longer serve them — including overwhelm, burnout, addictive behaviours, and periods of significant change. I offer therapy that honours complexity, depth, and the whole person.
My approach is relational and grounded in established counselling practice, while remaining attentive to meaning, identity, and the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and the world. We work gently and collaboratively, guided by what feels most supportive for you.
