About Annie

Annie Taylor is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions. Annie also supports people facing relationship and family strains, grief, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

She uses a direct, honest style in sessions and keeps language simple. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person needs right now. She aims to help people notice patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships, and then find manageable ways to change those patterns.

Annie combines client-centred principles with mindfulness techniques and hypnotherapy tools. That means she listens first, reflects what she hears, and helps clients experiment with different ways of thinking and coping. Mindfulness work focuses on grounding and present-moment awareness. Hypnotherapy may be used as a tool to support specific goals, such as reducing anxiety or changing habitual responses.

Her background includes work across health and criminal justice settings and supporting people with long-term illness. She says she will not turn away someone who reaches out for help. This experience informs a practical, non-judgemental approach to difficult material.

For a first session she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time to talk. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so session costs vary by location and plan.

How sessions work

Approaches used online and how they help

Annie works from client-centred principles, which means she focuses on listening and reflecting. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, useful when sorting out people-pleasing and boundary problems.

Mindfulness therapy is about simple attention exercises and grounding practices. It helps reduce rumination, manage anxiety, and bring attention back to the present rather than automatic reactions in relationships.

Hypnotherapy is used as a practical tool to support specific goals, such as easing acute anxiety or shifting habitual responses. It is presented as a guided technique alongside talking work rather than a standalone cure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annie will explore preferences, goals and what feels doable together. She frames the choice as collaborative and may combine methods to suit a client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make some techniques, like mindfulness practice, easier to try between meetings.
