About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma and eating concerns, among other issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Anneke trained on a BACP-accredited Person Centred course and uses that approach as a foundation. In practice she focuses on straightforward conversation. She listens to what is happening for the person and helps them notice what they want to change. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to tackle unhelpful thought patterns and to build useful coping steps.
Her work often centres on practical goals. That can mean breaking a problem into small steps, trying different ways of responding, and checking what helps in daily life. People who struggle with people-pleasing, boundaries, or patterns around others' drinking or moods may recognise familiar themes in her material.
Anneke also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas when clients want clearer direction or to make a specific change. These approaches steer sessions toward concrete next steps and short-term progress.
She explains things plainly and keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to achieve. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Anneke mixes Person Centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness in straightforward ways. Person Centred counselling means the therapist follows what matters most to the client and keeps the conversation focused on the client's concerns and choices. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviour and helps build small experiments to test new ways of coping. Mindfulness offers simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and help with sleep, anxiety and stress.Choosing an approach is a shared task. Anneke will talk through what matters to the client, try out different techniques, and agree a plan together. Sessions can shift over time from listening and reflection to brief skills practice or targeted problem-solving, depending on what the client wants.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited. They also allow for practical exercises and at-home practices that link directly to everyday life.
