About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate difficult life moments. She trained on a BACP accredited course in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Anneke draws on more than 13 years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties.
Her work is practical and straightforward. She listens, asks clear questions and helps clients set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Anneke also works with trauma, eating difficulties, grief and issues with intimacy and sleeping. She supports people dealing with career pressure, compassion fatigue, ADHD and mood concerns including depression and bipolar.
LGBT issues and family-related concerns are among the areas she addresses. Her approach combines client-centred practice with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises when these fit the client’s goals. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to help people find direction and stay motivated for change.
People who meet Anneke can expect respectful, non-judgemental conversation and clear options for moving forward. She aims to empower clients to make practical changes and to build skills they can use after therapy ends.

How Anneke’s approaches translate to online counselling
Anneke combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practice to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and offering supportive listening to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods out, and adapt what they do based on how well it fits the client’s needs and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time to stay useful.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access a therapist in another region or country, and lets people try different ways of working to see what helps most.
