About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a BACP-registered counsellor with 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, grief, anger and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviour rather than jargon.
Anneke trained on a BACP-accredited person-centred course and uses that client-centred foundation alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She offers straightforward conversations that look at what is happening now and what small steps could make things feel more manageable. Work often includes spotting thought patterns, testing new ways of responding, and trying brief mindful practices.
She also draws on solution-focused methods and motivational interviewing when people want clearer goals or need help finding motivation to change habits. That combination can suit someone who wants concrete tools to reduce reactivity, improve sleep, or manage urges linked to addiction. The focus stays on what the person wants to do differently.
Anneke notes experience with a wide range of issues including parenting stresses, intimacy-related worries, career pressures, ADHD, bipolar and depression. She also has experience with less commonly discussed topics such as kink and alternative sexual cultures, attachment and abandonment concerns, and long-term illness or caring roles.

How her approaches translate to online work
Anneke blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening carefully and helping people identify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thought patterns and test small behaviour changes. Mindfulness work involves brief attention and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and support better sleep or focus.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit best for someones goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may change as the person tries different practical steps and sees what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and the chance to practise skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep continuity when life is busy.
