About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a counsellor who works from a person-centred stance and draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy and cognitive behavioural methods. She brings 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns and recovery after trauma. Anneke uses simple, respectful language and focuses on what you want to change.
Her sessions are tailored to the person in front of her. She listens without judgement and helps people to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped by the client’s needs, whether that means practical steps for symptoms or space to process painful experiences. Anneke uses techniques from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to break problems into manageable parts. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing may be used to boost coping and readiness for change.
Trauma-focused methods are offered when past harm is part of the difficulty. She has supported people with a wide range of issues, including eating difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns linked to sexuality and kink, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Sessions are available online in English, and Anneke accepts international clients. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can explore change at their own pace.

How Anneke’s approaches work online
Anneke combines client-centred work with Trauma-Focused Therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people move forward. Client-centred therapy means the conversation is guided by what matters to you and aims to build trust and clarity. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to address past harm by working carefully through difficult memories and their effects. Cognitive behavioural therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions so practical changes can reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anneke will work with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as you notice what helps.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in suits your schedule. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer written reflection or need flexible, ongoing contact between scheduled sessions. These formats expand access and make it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations.
