Anna Mathur

Anna Mathur is a leading psychotherapist, bestselling author and sought-after keynote speaker, widely recognised for her trailblazing work in mental health, diversity and inclusion. With a deep commitment to making therapy more accessible and inclusive, Anna has spent over a decade transforming complex psychological concepts into practical, digestible advice for people from all walks of life. Through her books, online courses and public speaking engagements, she empowers individuals and organisations to build resilience, confront bias, and foster more compassionate, equitable cultures. Her uniquely relatable approach has resonated with millions, whether through her bestselling books or her chart-topping podcast ‘The Therapy Edit’, which has surpassed three million downloads.

Anna’s path into psychotherapy was shaped by a variety of lived and professional experiences. After beginning her career in copywriting and administration, she retrained as a psychotherapist and earned her Master’s in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent’s University. She went on to work in both private practice and the NHS, where she identified systemic patterns of burnout, overwhelm and inequality that disproportionately impacted underrepresented groups. In 2019, she founded Anna Mathur Psychotherapy Ltd, blending her clinical insight with psychoeducational content that speaks directly to mothers, professionals and teams striving to prioritise mental wellbeing. Her courses – including ‘The People-Pleasing Course’ and ‘The Week on Worth’ – have supported thousands of users, many from marginalised backgrounds, in reclaiming their self-worth and managing mental health challenges.

A powerful voice in the conversation around equity and emotional wellbeing, Anna has published five Sunday Times bestsellers, including ‘Mind Over Mother’, ‘Know Your Worth’ and ‘The Uncomfortable Truth’. Her work has been featured across national media, including the BBC, Sky News, Grazia, Marie Claire and The Telegraph. She is regularly invited to speak on panels and at high-profile conferences, offering compelling insight into topics such as neurodivergence in the workplace, imposter syndrome, and stress culture. Her keynote clients include Google, Spotify, Soho House, UCL and Bain & Company, where she is praised for her ability to dismantle stigma while delivering practical, research-backed tools for inclusion and wellbeing.

Whether she’s addressing 1,000 corporate staff or recording a podcast from her sofa, Anna captivates audiences with her warmth, humour and authenticity. Her personal storytelling style – often informed by her own experiences of anxiety and motherhood – breaks down barriers and builds bridges. As a BACP-accredited psychotherapist, a trusted media voice, and an ambassador for compassionate leadership, Anna continues to inspire change in workplaces, families and wider society. Her mission is clear: to help people feel seen, valued and equipped to thrive, no matter their background or identity.
