About Anneke
Counsellor and BACP member Anneke Beresford has 13 years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She sees people for issues such as relationship problems, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and eating disorders. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Anneke trained on a BACP accredited course in the UK and practises from a person-centred perspective. In sessions she focuses on what the individual brings and works to build a practical way forward. She uses straightforward conversation, listening, and reflection to help people make sense of difficult feelings and choices.
She also draws on other approaches where they fit, including cognitive behavioural ideas and brief solution-focused techniques. These methods can help with unhelpful thought patterns, coping strategies, and setting small, achievable goals. Mindfulness-based work may be used to support managing stress and anxiety.
Anneke commonly works with people facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain and career questions. She also supports concerns linked to neurodiversity, long-term health problems, body image, BDSM and kink-related issues, and commitment or attachment worries. Her practice lists both common and more specialised topics so people can find relevant help.
Practical arrangements vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online counselling options button.
How Anneke uses talking therapy approaches online
Anneke uses a person-centred approach which focuses on the person's experience and what matters to them. This involves open listening and reflecting back what the client says to help them make choices and notice patterns.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by breaking problems into manageable steps. Solution-focused techniques offer short, goal-oriented planning to identify small changes that move things forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and she will discuss options with each person. The therapist and client decide together what methods feel most useful, based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as the work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel, and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when needed. Registered or accredited professionals generally aim to make sessions fit everyday life while focusing on the issues people bring.
