About Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie Andersen is a UK BACP-registered psychotherapist with three years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She helps people who are fed up with frequent outbursts, simmering resentment, or growing frustration that affects relationships and work.

She uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour. Anne-Marie blends cognitive behavioural techniques with psychodynamic ideas to look at current problems and any earlier experiences that shape reactions now. Sessions aim to make unhelpful thought patterns clearer and at the same time explore how past relationships influence present feeling and action.

She often supports people wrestling with control issues, impulsivity, guilt and shame, or problems with communication. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, and life transitions like divorce or midlife questions. For people dealing with chronic illness or caregiving stress, she offers time to name the emotional impact.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Conversations include stepping through responses to stressful moments, trying small changes, and reflecting on where those changes lead. She encourages realistic steps rather than quick fixes and helps clients track whether new ways of reacting are useful.

If someone wants to begin, the next step is to use the site matching process and arrange an initial session. Sessions are conducted in English and Anne-Marie accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support them

Anne-Marie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. CBT is practical and helps with problems such as anxiety, anger flare-ups and low mood by teaching concrete strategies to try between sessions.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships and experiences influence current reactions. This approach helps when patterns of response repeat across situations and when understanding those roots makes it easier to change how one responds now.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Anne-Marie discusses goals and preferences and together they decide which techniques suit the situation. That collaborative decision making helps keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter conversation is helpful. It can also make it simpler to use practical CBT exercises between sessions and to keep continuity when life is otherwise busy.
