About Annette
Her style is warm and grounded. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She encourages honest conversation and helps clients name what matters most to them.
Annette draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered techniques to follow the client's pace and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep people stuck, and mindfulness to help with overwhelming feelings.
In therapy she helps clients unpack family dynamics, address shame or guilt, and work on communication problems. She supports people coping with addictions, grief, eating concerns, mood issues like depression or bipolar cycles, and compassion fatigue. She also assists those feeling isolated or questioning life purpose.
Her work aims to restore balance and build coping skills. Clients leave with clearer goals, tools for daily life, and steps to strengthen relationships and self-worth. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Annette commonly uses client-centered work to follow a person's pace and priorities. That approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them set goals that feel relevant. It is useful for people who need steady support while sorting out values and next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns and is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help people notice and respond to strong emotions with less reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try different methods, and adapt based on the client's goals and preferences. Clients help set priorities and test what works in real life.
If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography did not specify them.
