Annabel Minors, BACP

Annabel uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of sessions. This approach means the counsellor listens carefully, follows the client's lead and responds with warmth and respect. It can be especially helpful for building self-trust, addressing low self-esteem and navigating anxiety.

She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at recurring patterns and early relationship influences. That work helps people make sense of why certain feelings or behaviours keep happening, which can be useful for attachment concerns, relationship difficulties and long-standing emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annabel will talk with clients about their needs, goals and how they prefer to work, and she will help decide which methods to use. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for each person.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need to fit support around a busy schedule. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while balancing work and family commitments.
