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 the emotional impact of perimenopause and menopause., 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.
I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you. We might talk about how hormonal changes, emotions or relationships are affecting you, or focus on finding ways to feel steadier day to day. The aim is to help you understand yourself more clearly and regain a sense of balance.
Together, we create a calm, collaborative space built on trust and care. You’ll be encouraged to explore at your own pace, supported with understanding as you rebuild confidence, clarity and connection with yourself.
