Anne-Marie Andersen

Anne-Marie Andersen is a BACP counsellor who offers short-term support for stress, anxiety, anger and low mood. She writes plainly and meets people where they are, helping them notice their strengths and take the first steps towards change. Anne-Marie works from a belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and that small shifts can make a big difference.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. She also draws on Psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. These approaches are used together to make sense of what feels stuck and to try practical changes.

Anne-Marie has three years of professional experience in the UK and has supported people through trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles and anger. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and problems with communication and control.

In sessions she aims to be straightforward and encouraging. Conversations are focused on what the person wants to change, and on simple tools they can use between meetings. The overall goal is clearer thinking, fewer impulsive reactions, and a stronger sense of direction.

People who choose her can expect a calm, steady approach that balances practical steps with attention to life history. She invites curiosity, honest talk, and paced progress rather than quick fixes.

How Anne-Marie uses CBT and psychodynamic ideas online

Anne-Marie works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and to test small practical changes that reduce reactivity and low mood. She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy ideas to help people notice repeating relationship patterns and how past experiences shape present responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anne-Marie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest whether to focus on practical CBT techniques, longer-term pattern work, or a mix of both. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not detail specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone remain more comfortable by avoiding travel or by selecting a session length that fits a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible options to support steady progress without promising particular results.
