About Annie
Counsellor and member of NCPS with three years' experience, Annie Taylor supports people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and a range of other concerns. She works face to face and online as described by the service and focuses on practical ways to talk through problems and find clearer next steps.
Annie uses client-centred methods that place the person and their choices at the centre of sessions. She also draws on hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques where these fit the person's needs. Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational, with time to reflect and try new coping practices between meetings.
Her background includes work across different sectors and settings. She has experience supporting people with long-term illness and people who have had contact with the criminal justice system. That range influences how she responds to practical difficulties and unpredictable life events.
Annie describes herself as prepared to sit with difficult material and to stay with clients when progress feels slow. She will offer suggestions and practical ideas when appropriate, while encouraging clients to follow the direction that suits them.
People who come to her bring a wide range of issues, including relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, ADHD and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the booking process set out on the site.
How Annie uses client-centred, hypnotherapy and mindfulness online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person find their own answers. This approach is useful for decisions, relationship concerns and building confidence.Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, motivation and some stress reactions. It is used alongside talking work and practical tasks rather than as a standalone cure.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and managing strong emotions by creating small, repeatable habits.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the opening sessions. The counsellor will work with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and what feels comfortable. That choice can change as work progresses and as new issues come up.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. The profile does not list specific formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a mix of approaches remotely, and the counsellor will explain what will best suit practical needs and aims.
