About Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie Andersen is a psychotherapist registered with the BACP and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as isolation, attachment issues and caregiver stress.

Anne-Marie uses clear, practical conversations to help people understand what keeps problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider patterns from earlier relationships that affect current feelings.

Sessions focus on helping people notice small changes that make daily life easier. She helps people practise different ways of reacting and test out new approaches between meetings. This can include exploring fears around social situations and finding step-by-step ways to face them.

Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma and with those managing chronic illness and caregiving stress. She pays attention to how shame, guilt or past losses affect how someone relates to others now. Practical skills and longer-term reflection are combined depending on what the person needs.

Anne-Marie works in English and accepts international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Anne-Marie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT gives clear steps people can try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, phobias around social situations, low mood and stress. She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at how early relationships and patterns influence current feelings and reactions. This approach can help when someone notices repeated relationship problems or persistent feelings linked to past events. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those aims. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively how to blend practical skills and deeper reflection. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to work across online appointments, focusing on practical strategies and reflection that suit each person.
