Anne-Marie Andersen, BACP

Anne-Marie Andersen is a UK-based counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people with everyday thinking and habit patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to support people struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Anne-Marie holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult moments. In sessions she listens to what matters most, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and works with the client to try out different ways of coping. Conversations are aimed at small, achievable changes rather than big, sudden fixes.

Her background includes focused work with trauma and abuse, anger, motivation and confidence concerns. Anne-Marie also supports people dealing with relationship wounds such as abandonment and attachment issues, and with life transitions like divorce and midlife reassessment. Practical everyday challenges such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and isolation are within her scope.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change thought patterns that keep problems going, and draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. The overall aim is to help people build clearer habits, steadier moods and more confidence in day-to-day life.

How CBT and psychodynamic work in online therapy

Anne-Marie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and ordinary habits that keep stress and low mood in place. CBT sessions tend to focus on concrete thoughts and behaviours, and on practising small changes that make daily life easier.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and early experiences can influence current feelings and reactions. This approach can help people make sense of repeated patterns and gain more control over how they respond in similar situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try different ways of working to see what fits best. That collaborative process means plans can change as new insights emerge.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use a waiting room or who need a session that fits around work or caregiving responsibilities.
