About Anneke

Anneke Beresford is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on creating a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients work through stress, anxiety, relationships, addictions and trauma. Anneke trained on a course accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has 13 years of experience in practice.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then shapes the way she works around each persons needs and goals.

Background and approach

That can mean short-term practical work or longer conversations about difficult life events such as grief, abuse or changes in mood. Anneke draws on a range of methods including cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to help with sleep problems, low mood and anxiety. She also uses solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing when people want clear steps and goals.

These tools are used alongside a person-centred style rather than replacing it. She supports people facing issues linked to identity, relationships and sexuality, along with concerns such as body image, eating, compassion fatigue and parenting strain. Anneke also works with long-term conditions including chronic pain, illness and cancer-related stress, and with neurodiversity issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Sessions are offered in English and Anneke accepts international clients. She aims to make therapy practical and manageable, helping people build small changes that add up to a better day-to-day life.

How Anneke blends person-centred work with online therapy

Anneke uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. That means she listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. This style suits a wide range of issues from anxiety and low mood to relationship questions and identity concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical changes in behaviour to lift mood and reduce anxiety. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside CBT to help with stress, sleep and staying grounded when emotions feel overwhelming. These approaches give clear steps as well as time for open, person-led conversation.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean shifting between styles as progress is made and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit into everyday life. Video calls are useful for longer sessions and a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing, flexible support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities or travel.
