Anne-Marie Andersen , BACP

Anne-Marie Andersen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses practical talk and reflection to help people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments.

She focuses on common but painful issues such as trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and motivation. Anne-Marie listens for strengths in each person and helps them use those strengths to make small, steady changes. Her tone is encouraging and straightforward rather than clinical.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to offer different ways to understand problems. That might mean noticing unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviours, or looking at past experiences that shape present feelings. She adapts the approach to what each person finds most useful.

Anne-Marie also works with concerns like abandonment, attachment issues and body image. She helps people struggling with caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems and feelings of isolation. Practical steps and clear conversation are central to her work.

People who want a collaborative process will find her style approachable. She helps clients set simple goals, test small changes between sessions, and reflect on what works. The aim is to build more reliable ways of coping and to restore a sense of control over daily life.

How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online

Anne-Marie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas in online sessions to address strong emotions and repetitive difficulties. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce worry, low mood and anger. It suits people who want practical steps and clear experiments between sessions.

Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. That approach helps people who are curious about deeper patterns, attachment issues or long-running struggles with self-worth. Both approaches can be adapted to shorter problem-focused work or longer reflective therapy depending on need.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaboration. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what helps. This shared planning means the work can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break more easily. Text and chat suit quick check-ins, notes between sessions or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy life demands.
