About Annie

Annie Taylor is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and related concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties. Annie also supports those facing relationship and family issues, grief, bipolar mood swings, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her approach centres on listening and adjusting sessions to the person in front of her. Conversations focus on practical coping strategies and clearer ways to manage intense feelings. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the work person-focused, Mindfulness Therapy to build calm attention, and Hypnotherapy where guided relaxation may help change habitual reactions.

Before working independently, she gained experience across different parts of the sector, including supporting young people, people with long-term illness, and people within the criminal justice system. That background informs how she responds to a wide range of life situations and concerns.

Annie values honesty and directness in sessions. She says she does not come in as a fixer but offers observations, suggestions and practical steps when useful. She is comfortable staying with difficult emotions and with helping people work through periods of stuckness.

People can expect straightforward conversations that aim to increase coping skills and clarify next steps. To begin, readers should use the site's online booking flow and the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on clear listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions to stress, anxiety and relationship issues.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. It can be useful for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and reducing the intensity of difficult thoughts.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and suggestion to shift patterns of thinking or behaviour. It is sometimes used to support changes in habits, reduce anxiety levels, or manage symptoms that respond to focused relaxation.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative planning can change over time as work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone needs less screen time, a brief call can be arranged only if supported by the therapist's current session options.
