Annabel Minors, BACP

Annabel Minors offers steady, empathic support for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life transitions. She works in a warm, down-to-earth way that prioritises listening and understanding, helping people feel heard when they are reluctant to burden family or friends. Annabel focuses on exploring the deeper influences that can keep someone stuck, guiding gentle, practical change toward greater wellbeing.

Having lived and worked in both France and the United Kingdom, she understands the strain of adapting to another culture and language and the sense of not quite fitting in. Over 12 years she has supported clients facing workplace challenges, emotional abuse, relationship strain, and feelings of rootlessness, offering particular expertise with attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and issues around self-love and identity.

Annabel is a BACP member - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She provides therapy in English and French and offers a compassionate, intuitive approach that combines attentive listening with psychodynamic exploration and client-centered support to help people move toward healthier relationships and a more confident sense of self.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Annabel draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist follows. This approach helps people feel understood and supported while they explore current struggles such as anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties.

She also uses psychodynamic therapy to help uncover patterns and early influences that shape present feelings and relationships. This work can be useful for addressing deeper issues like attachment concerns, recurring relationship problems, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Annabel will work collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. As a BACP-registered professional, she combines listening and reflection with practical guidance to tailor the process.

Online therapy with Annabel is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and allow the therapeutic relationship to develop in a way that suits each individual.
