About Annie
Annie Taylor is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing grief, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar mood issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, with mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy used when appropriate. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and finding practical steps to reduce overwhelm. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier.
Annie has worked across different parts of the sector before moving into independent practice. Her background includes supporting people with long-term illness, those involved with the criminal justice system, and younger adults seeking guidance. This range informs a pragmatic style that accepts complexity and unpredictable life events.
She values honesty, individual difference, and direct conversation. Annie says she is not a fixer but offers suggestions, steady presence and practical techniques. She is comfortable staying with difficult feelings and will work at a pace the client can manage.
Practical aims in her sessions include improving communication, reducing anger and anxiety, managing grief, and building confidence. Clients are invited to try short mindfulness exercises, reflective talk and, when suitable, hypnotherapy to help shift patterns that feel stuck.
How sessions work
How Client-Centred, Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness translate online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online sessions let the counsellor hear current worries, help organise thoughts and suggest small steps to change patterns of behaviour or communication.Hypnotherapy involves guided attention and relaxed focus to explore habits or strong emotional reactions. In an online session this can be a structured guided exercise to support stress reduction, confidence building or changing unhelpful responses.
Mindfulness Therapy uses short, practical exercises to bring attention to the present and reduce rumination. These practices can be taught and guided during an online meeting and practised between sessions to help with sleep, anxiety and anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
Session logistics and formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, allow a quieter check-in during a work break and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how they will structure sessions to match a client's situation.
