About Anne-Marie
Counsellor and BACP member with three years' experience, Anne-Marie Andersen works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and depression. She offers talking therapy in the United Kingdom and supports people with a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and life direction questions.
Anne-Marie approaches sessions so people can talk through immediate problems and the thoughts that keep them stuck. She uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and from psychodynamic work to look at patterns from earlier relationships. Sessions tend to focus on what someone wants to change and practical steps they can try between meetings.
She aims to be straightforward and clear about the work. Sessions normally look at current stressors, how feelings show up, and patterns of behaviour. Anne-Marie listens for recurring themes and helps people try new ways of coping and communicating.
Her practice includes addressing guilt, shame, impulse control and relationship communication. She also works with issues such as midlife change, isolation and the effects of being in the armed forces or veteran life when those concerns come up in therapy.
Anne-Marie uses plain language in sessions and outlines what to expect at the first meeting. People are invited to set goals and to review progress as they go. If you want to begin, check the counsellor's online counselling options and follow the match and booking steps listed there.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Anne-Marie works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and often focuses on tests or small experiments to try between sessions, which can suit problems like anxiety, low mood and stress.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns and early experiences that influence current feelings. This approach can help when someone wants to understand why certain responses repeat over time rather than only manage symptoms.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and the issues they want to address. Together they review what seems to help and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people who live some distance from practitioners in the United Kingdom to link with a registered professional.
