Counsellor & Coach

Hi there! I'm Anne Raw

I’m Anne Raw, a Counsellor and Coach based in Sheffield. People often describe me as calm, present, thoughtful and easy to talk to, with a grounded sense of humour that helps lighten even the heavier moments.

I became a counsellor after many years of supporting people through whether you’re managing workplace challenges, building confidence or planning your next career step, and seeing how powerful it can be to have someone truly listen. That experience inspired me to train formally and offer others the same space for clarity, resilience and self-understanding.

Thank you!

Kind Words

Anne is an absolute diamond! Incredibly professional, calming, empathetic, supportive, kind and funny!. I had my sessions in person in the most relaxing, zen environment that is her office. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she really has been the best, and helped me navigate my way through a very rough time.

I have known Anne in a professional and personal capacity for a number of years. Anne is an incredible listener and quickly able to understand the roots of an issue and suggest options to resolve difficult situations. On numerous occasions I have valued Anne’s insightful, caring and practical support. She is always kind, approachable and welcoming.

Anne is a wonderful lady and has been an incredible support as I’ve navigated three family members with cancer and the transition into my 40s. She helped me manage the mix of worry, exhaustion and that sudden awareness of getting older that made me anxious about the future. I always leave our sessions feeling calmer, clearer and more able to cope with whatever comes next.

Anne is a wonderfully considerate, warm and generous person. She really cares about people, and makes sure she always puts their interests first. She has an amazing ability to put everyone at ease, so they can share any detail of their life with her without judgment. Anne asks non-intrusive questions in a way that helps people open up and be honest, so that they always feel more positive after spending time with her.

How we’ll work together

My approach to work, career and confidence coaching is practical, structured and focused on helping you make clear progress in your professional life.

We’ll begin by looking at your current situation, what you’ve already tried and what you want to achieve. Sessions are built around straightforward questions such as what’s working well, what’s holding you back and what needs to change. You’ll leave each session with focused actions to help you move forward.

Together, we’ll track progress, discuss challenges and adjust your goals as things evolve. The focus is steady, realistic growth that builds clarity, confidence and balance in your work.

Work, career and confidence coaching helps you think clearly about your goals, build on your strengths and make confident decisions about your next steps. It’s a structured process that supports lasting, practical change in your working life.
