Anne-Marie Andersen, BACP

Anne-Marie Andersen is a psychotherapist who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She holds BACP registration, and brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Her style is supportive and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to cope.

Anne-Marie treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths that can be used to move forward. In sessions she helps people name what is hard, try practical steps and reflect on what changes feel possible.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood, and psychodynamic ideas that pay attention to patterns from the past. She uses these approaches to help with difficult emotions and repeating relationship problems.

Anne-Marie also works with a wide range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife questions. She supports people dealing with separation, forgiveness and life purpose concerns as well.

Her manner is practical and encouraging. People who come to her typically explore small, manageable changes alongside understanding deeper patterns. She aims to help people regain confidence and clearer direction in their day-to-day lives.

Using CBT and psychodynamic ideas in online therapy

Anne-Marie works with approaches that suit both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It helps when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviours are getting in the way by offering practical steps and experiments to try out between sessions.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and repeated patterns shape current relationships and reactions. It helps when people want to understand why they keep repeating the same problems or feel stuck in certain roles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne-Marie will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest whether CBT, psychodynamic work or a mix would be most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around daily life, such as taking part from a quieter place, having shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support steady progress while keeping therapy practical and focused.
