About Annabel
Counsellor and BACP member Annabel Minors has 12 years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom and France. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Annabel also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems and workplace stress.
Annabel listens in a straightforward, down-to-earth way. She aims to help people talk through what feels difficult and confusing. Sessions involve exploring what is under the surface so practical steps can follow.
Her background includes living and working in France, so she understands some of the strain of adapting to another culture and language. This experience informs her work with people who feel rootless or struggle to belong in a new place.
Annabel uses client-centred methods that place the person’s own experience at the heart of the work. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current feelings and relationships. These approaches are used to look at issues such as guilt, shame, infidelity and loneliness.
Sessions often address everyday pressures as well as deeper patterns. Topics she commonly helps people with include divorce and separation, communication breakdowns, jealousy and multicultural concerns. She supports people to understand causes and consider practical next steps.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens and follows what matters most to the client, which can help with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem issues.Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and life events. It helps people see how past experiences may affect current relationships, communication and feelings such as guilt or emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annabel will discuss goals and preferences with the person and agree which methods to use. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and relevant.
