About me

I'm Dr Anna Baker, a Practitioner Psychologist and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with over 15 years' experience across the NHS, private practice and charity sector. Based in Hertford, I support adults experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, chronic pain, menopause and long-term health conditions, both locally and online across the UK.

I've always been interested in what helps people adapt, grow and move forward through life's challenges. I believe that while difficult experiences can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves, they can also become opportunities for greater understanding, resilience and change.

My approach is warm, supportive and down-to-earth. I take a holistic view of wellbeing, recognising the close relationship between emotional and physical health. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong", I work alongside you to understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop a more compassionate and helpful way of responding to life's challenges.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, stress, self-criticism, persistent pain, a health condition, or a significant life transition, my aim is to help you develop the confidence, flexibility and self-understanding needed to move towards a fuller and more meaningful life.
