Anneke Beresford, BACP

Anneke Beresford works from a person-centred perspective that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of each session. She offers a calm, respectful approach and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, and intimacy-related issues. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation.

With 13 years of experience, Anneke draws on practical methods to help people move forward. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness techniques to build present-moment coping. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used to set achievable goals and track progress.

Anneke has a BACP accreditation from a UK course, which she references as part of her professional background. She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, eating disorders, grief, sleep difficulties, burnout and compassion fatigue, as well as neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and ADHD. Her additional focus areas include body image, BDSM and kink-related matters, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Anneke presents herself as a supportive guide rather than an authority figure. She encourages people to take small steps and works collaboratively to build practical plans that fit real life.

How approach and online working come together

Anneke often blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practice. A person-centred way means conversations focus on the client's experience and priorities, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems in place and teach practical ways to change them. Mindfulness helps people notice their experience in the moment and develop calmer responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through what matters most to the client, try different techniques, and agree on goals together. This helps shape a plan that fits a person’s needs, comfort and everyday life rather than forcing a single method from the start.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins or goal reviews simpler when life is hectic, and they can help people keep therapy going while relocating or travelling. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals use different ways of working, and the therapist will discuss what will best support the client's aims.
