About Anabelle
Anabelle Tidmarsh is a person-centred counsellor who trained to MSc level at Keele University, where she earned a distinction. She draws on four years of professional experience to help people talk through anxiety, stress, trauma and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to make clients feel seen and heard during sessions.
Anabelle places the relationship with each client at the centre of her work. She asks about support networks, strengths and life experiences to build sessions around what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
She describes clients as the experts on themselves and focuses on creating a space where people can explore difficult feelings without judgement. Practical tools form part of her work when they suit a person’s needs. She has run relaxation and yoga-informed sessions for people who have experienced trauma, bringing attention to the body alongside talking therapies.
These practices are used to help clients reconnect with bodily experience and reduce physical tension. Sessions look at coping patterns that may once have helped but now hold a person back. Anabelle supports people to identify small, achievable changes and to build on existing strengths.
The pace and focus are decided together, so therapy fits individual goals. Outside work she spends time with family and walks her springer spaniel Olly, which she finds restorative between appointments.

Approaches Anabelle lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The counsellor may also integrate relaxation and body-awareness techniques when they suit a person. These practices bring attention to bodily sensations alongside talking and can support work with trauma, stress and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on talking, add relaxation exercises, or combine different ideas to fit the client's needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing, support ongoing reflection between sessions and fit around busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats so therapy works around daily life.
