Annamarie Teevan | Therapist
I’m Annamarie, and I’m honoured to share a little about the path that’s shaped me — and the heart behind my work as a therapist.
I’ve always been someone who sees and feels the world a little differently — drawn to the unseen, the symbolic, and the soulful threads that run beneath our everyday lives. For much of my life, I felt different. Like I didn’t quite fit the mould. I moved through the world feeling a little on the outside — sensitive, searching, and deeply curious about life’s deeper meaning.
That sense of not-belonging led me on a journey through many healing modalities, spiritual paths, and inner landscapes. This is also what led me to train at the Psychosynthesis Trust, a school of transpersonal therapy that welcomes the spiritual dimension as a vital part of our wholeness.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I am committed to offering an inclusive, respectful, and compassionate space — one where all parts of you are welcome, and your unique journey is honoured.
Over the years, I’ve explored a variety of spiritual paths and traditions — following my curiosity about what it means to be fully alive, connected, and in relationship with something greater than ourselves.
My therapeutic approach is deeply informed by my belief in the transpersonal—the spiritual and transcendental aspects of life that guide and nourish us.
Spiritual Focused Therapy
As a spiritually focused therapist, I weave together traditional therapeutic practices with a transpersonal perspective — holding space not only for emotional and psychological challenges, but also for the deeper, more soulful layers of your experience. This means our work can include exploring things like meaning, purpose, intuition, and your connection to the wider web of life.
Transpersonal therapy honours our capacity to grow, to evolve, and to feel a sense of belonging — within ourselves, within nature, and within the mystery of being alive. It’s a way of working that supports not just healing, but wholeness.
I have a deep love for the mystical and the magical — not as escapism, but as a meaningful and grounding part of being human. This love of mystery and metaphor often shapes the way I hold space in therapy: gently, intuitively, and with reverence for the whole of you — your shadow and your light, your questions and your knowing.
My varied personal and professional background has led me to explore many paths which influence my work. Nature has always been a profound source of healing and inspiration in my life. From a therapeutic perspective, nature offers a space for grounding, reflection, and connection. It can help us step away from the distractions of daily life and foster a sense of peace and clarity.
My deep connection with horses has been particularly meaningful, teaching me about presence, resilience, and the power of non-verbal communication.
I have worked with horses for many years and witnessed the unique ways they can support emotional growth and self-awareness. Equine-facilitated therapy integrates these powerful experiences, providing an opportunity to reconnect with nature and oneself in a deeply transformative way.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I have a background in nursing. I spent a number of years working in palliative care within the NHS. I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through life’s most profound transitions.
Self-Acceptance, Growth & Fulfilment
This has broadened my understanding of the importance of caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. I believe that true healing occurs when we tend to all aspects of our being, allowing ourselves to heal in a holistic, integrated way.
At The Aligned Self, my mission is to support you on your journey to self-acceptance, growth, and fulfilment.
Whether you are navigating life’s challenges, seeking clarity, or simply looking for someone who understands, I am here to walk alongside you.
Together, we can explore your unique story and uncover the resources within you to create a life of authenticity and alignment.
Thank you for visiting this space. If you feel called to embark on this journey with me, I would be honoured to support you.
