About Annette
Annette Buswell is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strain, addiction issues and codependency. Sessions are aimed at helping people who keep putting others first, struggle to say no, or find their sense of self drained by relationships.
She uses a blend of approaches drawn from client-centred therapy, psychodynamic thinking, mindfulness and hypnotherapy. That means conversations that focus on what matters to the client, alongside practical exercises to calm the body and notice unhelpful patterns. Annette offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person wants to achieve.
Her practice follows the BACP Ethical Framework and she works from the perspective of building trust and rapport so people can talk through difficult material at their own pace. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques are used when helpful to reduce stress, manage panic or support clearer thinking about choices and boundaries.
Annette also brings experience supporting people with trauma, self-esteem issues, anger and bereavement. She draws on different tools from her training to help a person notice repeating patterns, practise new responses and build steadier emotional reactions. The emphasis is on practical steps and reflection rather than labels.
People who contact her usually start by describing what they want to change. From there she helps clarify realistic goals and a way of working that fits their life. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and details about how to book are provided through the site's matching process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Annette combines client-centred therapy with mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques. Client-centred work focuses on the client's concerns and priorities, helping people speak through what matters and find clearer choices. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and help with panic or rumination. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused imagery to support changing habits and lowering anxiety.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree a way of working together. That collaborative decision helps set goals and decide whether short-term or longer-term work is more suitable.
