About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting strain and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Anneke uses a person-centred approach that keeps the conversation focused on what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and improve sleep. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when people want clearer short-term goals or support to change specific behaviours.
In practice she offers straightforward talking sessions where the adult client sets priorities and Anneke helps map out manageable steps. This can mean looking at thoughts and routines, building small coping strategies, or practising present-moment attention to reduce overwhelm. She also works through issues linked to identity, intimacy and grief in plain terms.
Her background includes supporting people with complex needs such as bipolar conditions, ADHD and chronic health challenges, alongside relationship and family-related stresses. Anneke describes her work as respectful and attentive, and she adapts the length and focus of sessions to what the person needs at that time.
If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Anneke combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. Person-centred work involves open dialogue where the adult client sets the agenda and the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Mindfulness practice uses brief attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and help with sleep or stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anneke will check goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then suggest a mix of methods. That plan can be adjusted as sessions progress so it stays practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so people can use a break at work or fit appointments around family responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals like Anneke can adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so the work ties directly into daily routines.
