About Annabell Webb
I am an experienced Arts Psychotherapist offering Outdoor Arts Psychotherapy in central Cambridge, UK. I use she/her pronouns.
I have worked in private practice for many years, supporting clients using art as a co-created language. Alongside private practice, I have also worked within an NHS counselling service offering short-term therapy to those referred through their GP in the Cambridge area.
Some of the presenting issues I have worked with include:
- a sense of feeling lost
- depression
- anxiety
- existential crisis
- burnout
- disordered eating
- neurodiversity
- long-term health conditions
- exploring sexuality and gender
Alongside private practice, I am also an Associate Lecturer and experiential group leader working with Dramatherapy MA students at Anglia Ruskin University.
Education & Experience
In addition to providing therapy via private practice and the NHS, my employment also includes managing and running art therapy groups which support those with life limiting illness.
I also have previous experience in the roles of wellbeing champion, gardener, and social worker.
The education which led me to being a qualified therapist is:
- Masters degree in Integrative Arts Therapy
- Post-Graduate diploma in Therapeutic and Educational Application of the Arts
- Bachelors degree in Social Work
- training in Eco-therapy and working outdoors
I am a registered Allied Health Professional with the Health Care Professionals Council.

My Therapeutic Approach
Working with me is primarily an outdoor experience, although I do offer online therapy too where necessary.
I like to step outside with you to explore the local Cambridge woodlands, where the gentle running river and calming woodland combine with nature’s soundtrack to create a wonderfully safe and supportive environment to facilitate healing.
This blend of art and nature provides a safe space for you to explore your emotions, express your thoughts and gently work through and unpick the issues which you face.
My practice is predominantly humanistic. In other words, I focus on helping you develop a strong sense of self and find meaning within, to live a more fulfilling life.
Whilst the use of art or the creative process is not essential in working with me, I do believe it benefits the healing process and helps you truly make the most of your journey in psychotherapy.
