About Annette
Annette Buswell is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience in private practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with addictions, parenting strain, career concerns and life changes.
Annette uses an integrative approach. Her core is client-centred work, which means she focuses on listening and building rapport so people can talk at their own pace. She combines that with hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques when these fit a person's needs.
In sessions she helps people look at what has been happening in their life and how patterns of thought and behaviour have developed. That may include exploring past experiences or practising relaxation and grounding skills to reduce stress and overwhelm.
She offers both shorter and longer term work, depending on what someone wants to achieve. Annette draws on a range of tools so sessions can shift between talking, focused techniques and mindfulness practices.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She aims to help people develop more self-compassion, manage strong feelings such as anger more effectively, and find ways to live that feel more meaningful and manageable. Sessions follow the BACP Ethical Framework and reflect her professional practice in the UK.
How her approaches translate to online work
Annette commonly blends client-centred work with hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices. Client-centred work focuses on listening, building rapport and helping people speak at their own pace; it suits issues like anxiety, anger and relationship strain. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for habits, stress and managing strong emotions. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and ease persistent worry.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean starting with gentle mindfulness exercises, adding psychodynamic reflection, or using hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work from a quieter place without needing to travel, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments.
