About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and brings 13 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and eating concerns. Her approach is warm and respectful and she aims to tailor conversations to each person's situation.
Anneke trained on a BACP accredited course in the United Kingdom and uses those core principles in sessions. She offers straightforward, practical support and listens carefully before suggesting any next steps. Expect a calm, non-judgemental space where your priorities guide the work.
She draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when they suit the person. These tools are used alongside a person-centred stance that puts the individual's goals first. Anneke helps people set small, realistic steps and reviews progress together.
Common areas she addresses include low mood, bipolar and depression, ADHD, grief and compassion fatigue, plus concerns about intimacy, body image and career stress. She also supports people dealing with long-term conditions, chronic pain and the stresses of caregiving.
Anneke accepts international clients and works in English. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Step 3
How Anneke adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Anneke uses a person-centred foundation alongside cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and helping the client set their own goals. Cognitive behavioural ideas aim to identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and test practical changes. Mindfulness-based practices teach simple paying-attention exercises to reduce stress and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anneke works collaboratively to decide which mix of methods best matches a person's needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan together with the client rather than imposing a single method.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into busy lives and reducing travel time. If you are considering remote work, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will run. Online sessions can make it easier to check in during a workday, use shorter meetings for focused tasks, or avoid being on camera if that helps concentration.
