Annette Buswell, BACP

Annette Buswell is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and midlife questions. She uses a person-centred way of working that aims to build a caring, dependable relationship so clients can speak openly and move at their own pace.

She has seven years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which she follows in line with the association's ethical framework. Her practice draws on a range of approaches including hypnotherapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to tailor sessions to each person.

In sessions she listens for what is causing distress and works with clients to uncover practical steps forward. That may include mindful relaxation, exploring past patterns that affect current feelings, or short-term solution work to manage immediate problems. She also offers coaching-style support when people want clear goals and action plans.

Annette's caseload has included common concerns such as depression, panic, bereavement, relationship and family difficulties, addiction-related problems, low self-esteem and chronic health challenges. She emphasises self-compassion and building inner resources as central to lasting change.

People who value warmth and steady support often find this approach helpful. Prospective clients should use the site's Start Therapy flow to match with her and confirm the exact session options before booking.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk honestly about stress, grief or life changes. It helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to make sense of their feelings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and relaxation practices to reduce tension and panic, and can support coping with chronic illness or ongoing worry. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access inner resources and can be helpful for habits, confidence and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to try together. That conversation continues as progress unfolds, and plans are adapted to what works for the individual.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also suit people who prefer to use relaxation or mindfulness tools in their own everyday environment while still meeting with a registered professional for guidance.
