About Annie
Annie Haggarty is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Annie also supports people working through addiction, trauma and grief.
She believes each person knows their own story best. Annie works alongside clients to build on their strengths and practical skills. Sessions are aimed at making small, achievable changes that feel useful day to day.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what feels manageable. Annie listens for goals you name and helps shape steps that fit your life.
She commonly uses client-centred approaches to make people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when helpful to spot patterns and try different ways of thinking and acting. These approaches are used in simple, practical ways rather than technical language.
Annie has experience with a wide range of concerns that often come together, such as body image, relationship and communication difficulties, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing career uncertainty, ageing and issues linked to separation and divorce. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered online to international clients as well as those in the UK.
People often begin by naming one small change they want to try. Annie helps turn that into a clear plan and reviews progress as you go.

Approaches Annie 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
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and patterns linked to addiction or self-esteem issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide which ideas to try and adjust them as sessions progress.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls give a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work for shorter check-ins, while live chat or text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options allow people to meet regularly without travel and to choose the format that best fits their routine and comfort.
