Annabelle Meddings (MSc, MPhil, PGDE) - Systemic Family Psychotherapist

As a qualified Family and Systemic Psychotherapist, I am a member of the Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice and am wholly committed to creating a relationally safe, reflective space where people can engage in meaningful and challenging conversations.

I believe therapy does not need to wait until crisis point, but can be a place to explore, share and grow at any point in life. I work in a neuroaffirmative way, recognising the many different ways people experience, process and make sense of the world.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, including multigenerational families and individuals from all different cultural backgrounds. My interests include family conflict and disconnection, parent-child/sibling relationships, couples work, the perinatal period, emotionally-based school avoidance, loss and bereavement, and family and attachment trauma.

Alongside my private practice, I work in Child and Adolescent Mental Health within the NHS, undertake ongoing training, and receive regular systemic supervision. Before becoming a therapist, I was a primary school teacher and completed a Masters in Education and Psychology at the University of Cambridge. I bring these experiences and training into my work. I was born and raised in Kenya, and outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time in nature with my family and friends, as well as cooking and sports.
