Anneke Beresford offers a person-centred way of working that puts the client's voice first. She is described as warm and respectful and aims to create space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Anneke holds BACP accreditation, and she draws on thirteen years of professional experience in the UK.

She helps people facing stress and anxiety by focusing on their immediate concerns and goals. She also supports those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, and eating difficulties.

Background and approach

Other common areas she addresses include depression, bipolar mood issues, low self-esteem and trouble sleeping. Anneke works with intimacy-related concerns and relationship difficulties, and she supports people navigating grief, career changes and parenting strain. Her practice also includes specialist topics such as ADHD, compassion fatigue and body image.

She pays attention to how life stages and health challenges affect emotional wellbeing. In session she adapts her style to each person. She uses client-centred conversation alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are available where they suit the client's aims. Sessions are offered in English and Anneke accepts international clients. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to empower people to make realistic changes.

The focus is on steady progress and on building clearer ways to cope with day-to-day pressures.

How her approaches work online

Anneke combines a person-centred way of working with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness tools. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and can find their own solutions; it helps with general distress and building self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviours and includes practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness practices to help manage stress and improve attention and sleep.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasise listening and exploration, skill-building, or short-term problem solving based on the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and teaching of practical exercises. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
