Anneke Beresford , BACP

Anneke Beresford is a licensed person-centred therapist who trained on a BACP-accredited course in the United Kingdom. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. With more than 13 years of professional experience, she has worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including relationship difficulties, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and eating disorders.

Anneke practices with sensitivity and compassion, creating a respectful space where clients can explore their concerns at their own pace. Her approach is collaborative and tailored - she adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s unique circumstances and goals. Drawing on person-centred principles, she focuses on supporting individuals to build resilience, clarify values, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Her work emphasizes empowerment and practical support rather than prescriptive solutions. Anneke aims to help people find their own resources for change while offering guidance and evidence-informed techniques when appropriate. The result is an individualised therapy process that balances understanding with actionable steps toward well-being.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Anneke integrates several practical approaches that translate well to online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing empathy, acceptance, and reflective listening so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their own goals - it is often helpful for relationship issues, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small, practical experiments to change thinking and behaviour; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attentional skills to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation, supporting issues like anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anneke works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and respected in decisions about their care.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for those with busy schedules or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and fit therapy into daily life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who apply established therapeutic methods.
