Annabel Minors is a counsellor with 12 years' experience supporting people through anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She works in English and French and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Annabel practises online and by phone, offering short messages, live chat, video calls and phone sessions to suit different needs.

Her style is calm and down-to-earth. She listens without judgement and helps people name what feels wrong.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding how past patterns affect present life, and on small changes that make a difference day to day. Annabel draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise each person’s experience. That means the conversation follows what the client needs, not a rigid plan.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns and recurring feelings that keep coming up. She has personal experience of adapting to a new culture and language after moving to France, and has worked with people in both France and the United Kingdom. This background informs her awareness of multicultural concerns and feelings of not belonging.

Common areas she helps with include stress, relationship problems, self-esteem, coping with life changes and depression. She also supports people facing attachment difficulties, communication problems, infidelity, workplace issues and experiences of guilt or shame.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor follows the client's pace, listens deeply and reflects back what matters. This approach is helpful for people who need acceptance and clearer view of what they feel.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early experiences that affect current relationships and mood. It helps uncover why certain reactions repeat and supports longer-term change for issues like attachment difficulties and low self-esteem.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and adapt the work as it progresses. That way the method fits the person rather than the other way round.

Online formats make it easy to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls give face-to-face connection and allow more conversational depth. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want frequent brief contact, or who find typing helps them express themselves. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
