About Annie
Annie Haggarty is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience working with people who are under stress, anxious, or facing life changes. Annie keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps.
She aims to support and empower clients as they take the first steps toward change. Annie helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression and grief. She also works with those coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths. In the room she uses client-centred methods to listen and understand what matters most to the client. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving.
Sessions are a mix of talking, reflection and practical exercises tailored to each person’s needs. People who choose Annie can expect a calm, supportive style that encourages small, manageable steps. She focuses on real-world changes that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
The aim is to leave each session with a clearer sense of what to try next. Annie works with adults from across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Conversations are in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
How Annie uses client-centred work and CBT online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The counsellor follows your lead, reflects what they hear and helps you notice your own strengths and choices. This approach is useful when you need a space to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves looking at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and problems that feel stuck in pattern.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust the focus over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and use visual tools, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when travel or relocation happens.
