Anne-Marie AndersenBACP

Anne-Marie Andersen is a counsellor who uses her experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and low mood. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings three years of professional practice to sessions. She aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and direct. Her practice focuses on practical conversations about what is causing difficulty. She helps people talk through anger, low self-esteem and struggles with motivation. Anne-Marie also works with issues linked to relationships such as attachment and abandonment concerns, and with life transitions like divorce and midlife reassessment. She combines approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas, which consider past experiences that shape how someone feels now. Sessions aim to connect how current reactions link back to earlier events, while also offering ways to try different, healthier responses in daily life. People bring many kinds of problems, including chronic health strain, caregiver stress, body image worries, and isolation. Anne-Marie listens for practical steps clients can try between sessions, and she helps set small, realistic goals to build momentum. Her work is collaborative. She treats each person as the expert of their own story and supports them to find strengths already present. To begin, readers are invited to consider whether a short questionnaire and an initial scheduling step would suit their needs.

How Anne-Marie uses CBT and psychodynamic ideas online

Anne-Marie draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes. CBT often focuses on small experiments and coping strategies that can reduce anxiety, low mood and stress symptoms. Psychodynamic approaches look at how earlier relationships and experiences shape present feelings and reactions, helping make sense of recurring patterns and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne-Marie will discuss what feels most useful and will adapt sessions to clients' goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which ideas to try and what tasks, if any, might help between meetings.
