About Mount Willow
About Mount Willow
Hi, I’m Annie.
Counsellor | Coach | Holistic Wellness Practitioner
With over 15 years of experience supporting women, parents, youth, teens, and families through life’s challenges.
Originally from the South Coast of England and now based in Central Alberta, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work—including understanding what it feels like to build a life far from home. I have a special interest in supporting women who have moved to Canada and are navigating the emotional experience of transition, identity, and belonging.
My approach is warm, grounded, and person-centred, with a strong connection to nature and nervous system wellbeing. I blend evidence-based counselling with holistic practices to support emotional health, resilience, and lasting change.
Mount Willow is a space where you can slow down, feel safe, and reconnect with yourself—at your own pace.

What to Expect in Your First Session
What to Expect in Your First Session
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brought you here. We may explore your current concerns, goals, and what you’d like support with.
You can share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to talk about anything you’re not ready for. Together, we’ll begin identifying what feels most important and create a plan that supports you.
This session is also a chance to ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit.
