Annabel Minors, BACP

Annabel Minors is a counsellor with over 12 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, low mood and relationship strains. She holds BACP accreditation which she uses to guide how she works. Annabel listens without judgement and aims to help people feel understood at their own pace.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what patterns might be keeping someone stuck. She helps people talk through issues such as jealousy, communication problems, separation, workplace stress and the shame that can follow difficult choices.

Annabel draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the heart of the session. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past relationships and patterns that repeat in the present. Together these approaches help uncover emotional blocks and make sense of recurring reactions.

Having lived in France and the UK, she understands the strain of adapting to a new culture and language. That background informs her work with people facing multicultural concerns, isolation or a sense of not belonging.

Practical steps are part of the process. Annabel helps people identify small changes that fit into everyday life, and she supports them while they try those changes. She aims for clear, realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Annabel works using client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering accepting listening and support to help people find their own solutions. It is useful for low self-esteem, stress and relationship worries. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present behaviour and feelings, which can help with repeating patterns such as jealousy or difficulty trusting others.

Finding the right way of working is part of the conversation. She will discuss your needs and preferences and adapt the way she uses these approaches so they fit your goals. That collaborative process helps you try different ways of tackling problems and decide what feels most helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and saving travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments, and it can allow a shorter check-in when needed.
