Dr. Anna Norris

My time with Anna gave me practical tools to use, but most valuably provided perspective and reassurance about what’s reasonable and realistic to expect of myself. Anna is a great listener, sensible questioner, sage advisor and above all compassionate and supportive. Thank you, Anna!

I’m just posting the same review again because I didn’t realise there were two separate boxes: I only had a telephone assessment with Dr Anna from Oak Grove Psychology, but it was one of the most valuable conversations I’ve ever had regarding my mental health. It was the first time I felt listened to. They went above and beyond to get me further support, which has changed my life. For so long I believed I was just a very anxious individual and dysregulated because of this, however because of the support from that one telephone assessment, I was able to find the right pathway for my needs, got my ADHD diagnosis and medication and have since been on a journey to understand the root of my core beliefs and how much I’ve been working against myself before. They also went above and beyond to wait for my insurance provider to get back to me about what they could cover and were really being understanding and flexible. While I didn’t end up having sessions, I found that every interaction with this team was phenomenal. I’d definitely trust them and reach out here if I needed mental health support in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Dr Anna Norris. I felt safe, respected and genuinely cared for. I valued the framework that Anna used and it was something I have taken away with me. I feel so much more self confident.

Anna created such a safe space for me to discover and be myself and to be proud of who I am, rather than feeling always 'less than'.

Excellent — kind, thorough, and very professional

Anna, put quite simply is an amazing Psychologist. I have had many councillors over the years who have failed to help me. A year on under Anna’s care, I am a transformed man. Anna has given me purpose and made me believe in myself again and helped me to know my worth.

Thank you so much for everything! I appreciate all of your continued & kind support.

Anna has helped me completely change my life, I can't describe how thankful I am. Before our sessions I was too afraid to leave my room and was too depressed to care for myself, I couldn't picture a future for myself and didn't want to. I felt like I was too far gone for any therapy to help me, and worried that having such a mixture of mental health problems (depression, anxiety, EUPD, anorexia/bulimia, ADHD, autism) would make it difficult to find someone who could actually help. Now I'm back in college working towards applying to university, I've volunteered and even passed my driving test, and I actually feel hopeful for my future. Anna believed in me the whole time and taught me how to believe in myself. She taught me so many useful skills that I am going to use for the rest of my life. Annas gentle, caring and open minded approach helped me feel so at ease during the sessions and I trusted that I could tell her anything and she would never be judgemental or make me feel guilty for thinking or feeling a certain way like other therapists I've had in the past did. She never pressured me to talk about anything I didn't feel comfortable with, and even though our sessions were mostly focused on my anxiety, she still helped me so much with my other problems as well, either actively through talking about them directly, or passively by teaching me skills that I could apply to multiple different situations. I found the way she explained the reasoning behind certain thought or behaviour patterns incredibly enlightening and definitely aided in me overcoming those patterns that I s...
