About Anneke

Anneke Beresford is a Person Centred Therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in the field for 13 years and supports adults with issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and eating concerns. She also helps with anger, sleep problems, grief, low self-esteem and career-related stress.

Anneke frames sessions around what each person brings. She listens and reflects, then uses clear, practical tools that fit the situation. Where helpful she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to manage thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions.

Her approach includes collaborative goal-setting and motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change. Solution-focused work is used for short-term goals and practical coping strategies. This mix lets conversations stay grounded and outcome-orientated when needed.

Anneke has experience across a wide range of concerns from ADHD and bipolar to intimacy and body-image issues. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress and chronic illness. That background informs how she helps clients pace work and manage setbacks.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches work for online sessions

Anneke uses Person Centred Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Person Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathic reflection and helping people find their own solutions. It suits people who want a consistent, collaborative conversation about feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, anger and mood difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree on an approach together. That collaborative step helps keep sessions focused and realistic.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins or regular weekly work without extra commute time, which some people find practical when managing anger, stress or ongoing treatment.
