About Annie

Annie Haggarty is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and career worries. Annie approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to make small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space where they can talk through what matters most to them. Annie draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the person's goals at the heart of therapy.

She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different approaches to coping. These methods are used together so sessions feel relevant and hands-on. Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems and relationship endings.

She tailors the focus depending on the person who comes to sessions. People who prefer clear, practical conversations about change tend to find her style helpful. The aim is to support each person to make steady progress and to leave sessions with tools they can use between appointments.

Ways of working Annie names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Annie uses client-centred and CBT online

Annie uses client-centred approaches to put the person's experience first and to follow what matters most to them. This means conversations that focus on the individual's goals and build on their own strengths to make change feel achievable.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of reacting. CBT techniques can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and managing responses after trauma.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Annie works with each person to decide what fits their needs and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress is made. The choice of techniques is guided by goals and what feels useful in day-to-day life.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit in. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or more frequent contact between sessions. These options help people access counselling from different places and at times that work for them.
