Anne-Marie Andersen, BACP

Anne-Marie Andersen is a registered psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience, registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges to motivation and confidence. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control difficulties, relationship separation, and feelings of guilt or isolation.

Anne-Marie approaches therapy from the view that each person is the expert in their own life and already carries strengths that can support change. She aims to create a supportive partnership that helps clients identify those strengths and take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life. In sessions she draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs and goals.

Clients can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental practitioner who prioritises empowerment and practical progress while exploring underlying patterns and emotions. Anne-Marie offers therapeutic support designed to help people build resilience, clarify purpose, and move through difficult experiences toward healthier functioning.

Approaches and online sessions for flexible therapeutic support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often applied to issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and managing strong emotions, with practical tools and exercises that can be practised between sessions. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on understanding deeper emotional patterns and early relationships that shape current difficulties; it aims to increase self-awareness and make sense of recurring feelings and interpersonal dynamics.

Anne-Marie works collaboratively with clients to find the approach or combination of approaches that best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in exploring options and adapting methods over time, so the therapeutic plan evolves with the person’s progress and changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without travel, and they enable ongoing work in a way that fits daily life and commitments.
