About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a BACP-registered counsellor with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and eating concerns. Her practice also covers issues such as grief, sleeping problems, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Anneke trained on a BACP-accredited Person Centred course in the UK and uses that approach alongside practical methods. Sessions focus on clear, respectful conversation and practical steps. She aims to keep things straightforward and use techniques that fit each person’s situation.
Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress and emotional regulation. She also uses Solution-Focused and Motivational Interviewing ideas to set small, achievable goals.
People contact her for a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including parenting strain, chronic illness, relationship commitment issues and workplace stress. She also supports people navigating identity and intimacy-related matters, including LGBT concerns and kink-positive issues.
Sessions are conducted with attention to pace and clarity. Anneke asks questions, listens, and helps people break problems into manageable steps. The emphasis is on practical changes and clearer thinking rather than complex jargon.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Anneke blends Person Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness ideas. Person Centred work means listening and responding to what matters most to the person. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and tries practical experiments to shift them. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and manage emotional ups and downs.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the early work. She will talk through goals and preferences and agree together which techniques to try. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they match the person’s needs and pace.
The practical benefits of online work are about fitting therapy into ordinary life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online arrangements can make it easier to keep appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to try therapeutic tools between sessions and bring observations back to discuss with the therapist.
