About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people move forward from distress and find more balance. She draws on 13 years of experience and works with common problems such as anxiety, stress and depression. Anneke aims to build a respectful, sensitive relationship that lets people speak honestly about what matters to them.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and grief.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing challenges with intimacy, sleep, parenting and career decisions. Anneke listens for the person behind the problem and adapts conversations to each individual’s situation. Anneke uses practical tools alongside person-centred listening.
She blends cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques when helpful. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also feature in sessions when clients want to change habits or manage difficult emotions. Clients can expect an initial discussion about goals and preferences so a plan is shaped together.
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at small, manageable steps rather than big leaps. Anneke encourages self-compassion and realistic strategies for coping with life changes. She trained on a course accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and holds BACP as a credential.
Anneke works from the United Kingdom and speaks English. She welcomes people from different countries for online sessions and adapts her approach for each person.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Anneke will ask about your goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and how you prefer to work. Together you’ll try methods that fit your needs and adjust them as you go so the sessions remain practical and relevant.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls are useful when face-to-face interaction helps connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
