About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a person-centred counsellor with 13 years of experience helping people through difficult times. She works directly with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction and trauma. Anneke focuses on respect and sensitivity, and she adapts conversations to each person’s needs.
Her background includes training on a BACP accredited course in the United Kingdom, and she uses that foundation to guide her practice. She often draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with thinking patterns, and uses mindfulness strategies to build awareness and calm.
Anneke pays attention to practical goals and small steps. She may use solution-focused work and motivational interviewing to help people find momentum and stay motivated. Sessions are framed around what a person wants to change and how they want life to feel.
She also has experience with eating concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Codependency and attachment-related difficulties are included among her focus areas when they are relevant to the person’s story.
People who meet her can expect a warm, non-judgemental voice in sessions and a commitment to tailor the pace of work. The emphasis is on supporting choices, building coping skills, and helping people take steps toward more manageable day-to-day living.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person as they are and prioritising their pace and choices. Online work with this approach often means the counsellor listens carefully and reflects back what matters most to the person, helping them find clarity about next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Delivered online, it can include structured conversations, practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. In remote sessions this often involves short guided practices and learning simple attention skills to reduce stress and manage strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what fits the client’s needs and preferences and agree a plan together. It is a collaborative process that can change as goals evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow more regular check-ins. Others prefer short practical sessions for focused progress or longer sessions for deeper work, and the counsellor can help decide what will work best.
