Anne-Marie Andersen, BACP

Anne-Marie Andersen is a psychotherapist who uses clear, practical approaches to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and works from the United Kingdom where she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her work focuses on practical change alongside understanding patterns that repeat over time. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and tests small changes that can make life easier. She also spends time looking at how past relationships or experiences shape current feelings and reactions.

Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including abandonment fears, attachment issues, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and guilt or shame. She also supports people dealing with life purpose, midlife transitions, isolation and veteran and armed forces issues.

With three years of professional experience, she aims to make the therapy space respectful and straightforward. She emphasises the client as the expert in their own story and works to build on existing strengths. The therapist encourages practical steps and honest reflection rather than quick fixes.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that suit their schedule. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How CBT and psychodynamic work for online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small changes, and using practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood and manage anger.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people recognise repeating patterns, understand where they come from, and make different choices in relationships and self-care.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit the person's needs. That way the work can balance immediate coping strategies with deeper reflection as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and letting people book around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or conversations without needing to be on camera, and it can help maintain regular contact during times of relocation. Confirm the current session options and formats before booking so the practical arrangements match personal needs.
