Annette Buswell, BACP

Annette Buswell is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with seven years' experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, and anger. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom and are presented within the BACP Ethical Framework.

Annette describes her core approach as person-centred. She focuses on building rapport and allowing people to work at their own pace. That means listening first, then offering techniques that suit the person rather than forcing a single method.

Her practice draws from several approaches including mindfulness, hypnotherapy, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. In practice this looks like short-term goal work alongside deeper exploration of past patterns when needed. She also offers mindful relaxation sessions to help with stress and anxiety.

Annette uses a mix of brief coaching-style conversations and longer exploratory therapy. She says this makes it possible to address immediate problems like panic or workplace frustration, and also to look at longer-standing difficulties such as attachment or grief.

Her background includes work in private practice and a range of training in therapeutic methods. She follows the BACP Ethical Framework, carries liability insurance and holds a DBS certificate. That combination is used to guide how she works with people and their concerns.

If someone wants to begin, the usual next step is to use the site's matching process and schedule a first session. Annette emphasises steady, practical steps so people can notice small changes in how they handle anger, stress or difficult relationships.
