International Online Psychotherapy That Meets You Where You Are
A thoughtful, mind-body approach to therapy and EMDR for people who are used to holding a lot together.
Hi, I’m Anne
I’m Anne Remy, a UK-based psychotherapist working online with clients in the UK and internationally.
I work with adults who may look as though they are coping well on the outside, while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, stuck or exhausted. Many of the people I work with are professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs and internationally mobile people navigating demanding careers, frequent travel, major life changes or the experience of living between different places and cultures.
My approach combines psychotherapy with a particular focus on the relationship between the mind and body. Depending on what you need, our work may draw on somatic therapy, EMDR or Pain Reprocessing Therapy alongside relational, trauma-informed psychotherapy.
Therapy that considers the whole person
Sometimes understanding why you feel the way you do is not enough to create meaningful change.
You may know where your anxiety comes from, understand the patterns you repeat, or be able to explain exactly why something affects you, and yet your body continues to respond as though something is wrong.
This is where my mind-body approach becomes particularly important.
I pay attention not only to what you think and feel, but also to what happens in your body: tension, pain, activation, numbness, exhaustion, restlessness or a sense that you cannot quite switch off.
Therapy can become a space to explore these experiences with curiosity rather than judgement, developing a greater sense of safety, awareness and choice.
My work is grounded in psychotherapy and informed by trauma-focused and body-based approaches. I may draw on EMDR, somatic therapy and Pain Reprocessing Therapy where these are appropriate for your needs.
Who I work with
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:
Anxiety, chronic stress and overwhelm
Trauma and experiences that continue to affect you
Burnout and difficulty switching off
Chronic pain and persistent physical symptoms
Feeling disconnected from yourself or your body
Life transitions, identity changes and periods of uncertainty
The particular pressures of living, working or travelling internationally
Difficulties that persist despite having considerable insight into yourself
Feeling stuck despite being capable, successful or accustomed to coping independently
You do not need to be in crisis to come to therapy.
Sometimes therapy begins because something has become too difficult to keep carrying alone. At other times, it begins because life looks fine from the outside but no longer feels that way internally.
What I Offer
Online Therapy for Clients Worldwide
I work with clients throughout the UK and, where appropriate, with clients internationally.
Online therapy can be particularly useful when your life does not fit neatly into one location. You might travel regularly for work, have moved countries, live away from family, work across time zones or simply find that an online therapist gives you greater flexibility and continuity.
For some internationally mobile clients, continuity of therapeutic relationship matters precisely because so much else in life is changing.
We can explore whether online therapy is appropriate for your circumstances during an introductory call.
A Somatic and Mind-body Approach
My work is grounded in the understanding that psychological experience is not separate from the body.
Stress, trauma and emotional experiences can influence how we breathe, move, sleep, experience pain and respond to perceived threat. Sometimes the body continues to respond to an experience long after the mind has made sense of it.
Somatic therapy does not mean ignoring thoughts or talking less. Instead, it gives us another way of paying attention to your experience.
We might notice what happens in your body when you talk about something difficult, explore sensations with curiosity, or develop a greater awareness of the signals your nervous system is giving you.
This approach can be particularly valuable for people who have already spent years thinking, analysing and understanding themselves, but still feel that something has not shifted.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy
I also work with people experiencing persistent or chronic pain, particularly when pain continues despite medical investigation or when the nervous system may have become sensitised to pain signals.
Pain is real. Understanding the role of the nervous system does not mean that pain is imagined or "all in your head."
Pain Reprocessing Therapy offers a different way of understanding the relationship between the brain, nervous system and pain, and can help some people develop a different relationship with persistent pain and the fear that can surround it.
EMDR Therapy for International Clients
EMDR can be helpful when experiences from the past continue to influence how you feel, think or respond in the present.
I offer EMDR online as well as in person, using bilateral stimulation adapted for online work where appropriate.
EMDR may be useful for trauma and distressing experiences, but it can also be relevant when anxiety, panic, chronic stress or other difficulties have roots in experiences that have not been fully processed.
The therapeutic relationship remains central to this work. EMDR is not simply a technique applied to a problem, but a process that we approach collaboratively and at a pace that feels manageable.
Who I Am
I’m a UK-based American psychotherapist with an MSc in Humanistic Psychotherapy and professional training in EMDR, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and somatic and body-based approaches.
My background spans psychotherapy, trauma-informed practice and international education, and I have worked with people from a wide range of cultural and professional backgrounds.
I’m particularly interested in the places where psychological experience, the body and our wider circumstances intersect. This includes working with trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, chronic pain, life transitions and the complexities of living between different cultures or countries.
If you think we might be a good fit, you can book a free 20-minute introductory call to talk about what is bringing you to therapy and ask any questions you have about working together.
