Annie Haggarty is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and addictions, and supports those coping with trauma, low self-esteem and career-related worries. Annie believes clients know their own stories and draws on their strengths to move forward.

She uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical steps people can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Annie aims to create a calm space where someone can talk things through at their own pace. Her approach combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-Centred Therapy helps people feel heard and understood while they explore their concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers simple, structured ways to test thoughts and try new behaviours. Annie also supports people through grief, life changes and relationship issues such as communication and commitment worries. She can help with body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and with problems linked to abandonment or attachment difficulties.

Sessions are explained in plain language and focused on achievable goals. Annie helps people break problems down into small steps so change feels possible. Her aim is to empower people to build more confidence and clearer ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship. It gives people space to tell their story and helps them notice their own strengths and choices. This approach is useful for those who need acceptance and steady support while they work through difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses short, practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new coping strategies. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression and stress where small changes can make a big difference.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that feel like a good fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still accessing qualified counsellors.
