Annette Buswell

Annette Buswell offers supportive therapy for people facing anger, stress, anxiety and life changes. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and focuses on building a trusting relationship where clients can speak openly. Her approach is gentle and person-centred, helping people take steps at a pace that suits them.

Annette draws on seven years of experience in private practice and practises within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework (BACP). She uses a mix of methods including client-centred work, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. This lets her adapt to different needs, from short-term goals to longer-term emotional work.

Sessions typically begin by looking at what has been happening and what the client most wants to change. Annette helps identify practical steps and coping strategies, and also looks at deeper patterns when that feels helpful. She places particular emphasis on building self-compassion and understanding how past experiences shape current reactions.

Her background includes mindfulness training and hypnotherapy work alongside integrative psychotherapy and coaching. The combination of approaches is offered to suit the person rather than a fixed model. Annette also has experience supporting people through grief, relationship and family difficulties, addictions and chronic health challenges.

People interested in starting will be guided through a short matching questionnaire and then invited to schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, with pricing that varies by location and therapist availability.

How Annette uses different approaches online

Annette combines client-centred work with hypnotherapy and mindfulness to meet different needs. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through what matters most. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help change unhelpful habits and ease strong emotions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that suit the person. Choices are reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something else seems more useful.

The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-in sessions during a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera if that helps you focus. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of exercises, guided relaxation, and conversation to support progress across anger, anxiety and life changes.
