About Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie Andersen is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem issues and depression. She also lists concerns such as guilt and shame, abandonment, attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress among her focus areas.
Anne-Marie takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for practical ways to address the things that cause distress. Conversations tend to focus on patterns of thinking and feeling, and how those patterns affect daily life.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at earlier experiences and how they shape current reactions and relationships. These methods are used to understand both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.
In sessions Anne-Marie aims to help people name what is hard and try small changes that feel manageable. She will talk through ideas, set practical steps, and review how changes are working. The emphasis is on clear, everyday language rather than technical terms.
People who contact her are often carrying regret, shame about who they are, or guilt about things they did or did not do. Anne-Marie supports exploration of these feelings alongside more common issues such as anxiety, anger and low mood. She accepts international clients and works in English.
How her approaches are used in online work
Anne-Marie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that maintain anxiety or guilt, and to try practical experiments that can change how they feel. She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships and early experiences influence current reactions and repeating patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with the client to choose which methods to try based on their goals, concerns and preferences. This is a collaborative exploration rather than a set prescription.
