Anneke Beresford, BACP

Client-centred therapy puts the person's own experience first and focuses on being heard and understood; online this means sessions concentrate on listening and reflecting so people feel able to shape the work. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can be practised between sessions and reviewed in later meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping for stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Anneke will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adapts the mix of listening, practical CBT tasks and mindfulness exercises to what helps you make steady progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be quicker or use less bandwidth, and text options suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written work. These choices help fit therapy around work, family and travel so people can keep therapy going even with busy lives.
