Anne-Marie Andersen

Anne-Marie Andersen is a counsellor who uses a human-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She works with common struggles such as trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She draws on three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration.

Her practice begins with listening closely to each person’s story. She believes people know themselves best and uses that knowledge to build practical steps for change. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and finding manageable ways to move forward.

Anne-Marie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas. CBT helps to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to try small behavioural changes. Psychodynamic thinking looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships.

She supports people dealing with body image concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and problems with communication and control. Other areas she addresses include guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation and questions about life purpose and midlife change.

Her style is practical and down-to-earth. She aims to empower people to make steady progress rather than promise quick fixes. Many clients find the combination of practical tools and reflective work helps them gain clearer direction.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The process is straightforward and kept focused on the client’s goals.

Working with CBT and psychodynamic ideas online

Anne-Marie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in day-to-day life. CBT sessions often focus on skills you can try between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage anger or improve mood.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current emotions and relationships. This approach can help people understand recurring patterns and find new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine ways of working as the work develops.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as having sessions from a convenient location or reducing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling to suit work and family commitments.
