Hello and welcome! I’m Anne Lewis, the founder of VIVA Therapy and an integrative therapeutic counsellor with experience of supporting individuals and couples through life’s challenges. 

​​

I provide a space where you can be heard, where you can feel grounded and understood––where you can share your story without judgement.   

​

I am a fully qualified therapist and, with a background in Person-Centred therapy, I use an integrative approach to therapy. In addition I have trained in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which is a research-based couples therapy approach, developed by John and Julie Gottman, which focuses on improving communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution. 

 

I work with couples where ADHD and/or autism is a factor––and this is work I feel passionate about. I have professional and personal experience of ADHD and autism, so I know how neurodiversity can really impact how we feel about ourselves and how we are in our relationships.  

 

I will help you understand and improve how you communicate in your relationship and give you the tools you need to reduce defensiveness and conflict, increase your understanding of one another, and help you learn to manage conflict and communication with compassion for each other.  We'll work together to help you build a stronger, healthier relationship.  I’m here to support you both every step of the way as you move forward.

​

I am a member of the LGBTQI+ community 🏳️‍🌈 and so I love working LGBTQI+ couples, and couples where poly or ethical non-monogamy is part of your relationship. ​​​​​
