About Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie Andersen is a BACP-registered psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Anne-Marie frames clients as the experts in their own stories and works alongside them to identify strengths they can use to move forward.
She uses practical talking methods to help people manage difficult feelings and reactions. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going, and on testing small changes to see what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to unpick thought and behaviour cycles linked to anxiety, low mood and self-criticism.
Anne-Marie also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at early relationships and attachment where these affect current difficulties. This can help make sense of feelings like abandonment, guilt, shame or problems with control. She talks through how past experiences shape reactions in present-day relationships and choices.
People come to her with a range of concerns including body image, midlife re-evaluation, caregiving stress, chronic illness and isolation. She supports those dealing with divorce and separation, communication breakdowns, and challenges connected to military service. Life purpose and questions about what comes next are part of her work when clients raise them.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative and practical. Prospective clients are invited to consider what they want to change, try options in between sessions, and review progress together.
How her approaches are used in online work
Anne-Marie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and small behaviour experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often focus on immediate symptoms, practical strategies and clear steps you can try between meetings.She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring relationship patterns and how early attachment experiences influence current feelings about abandonment, control and shame. This approach can help people make sense of long-standing reactions and how they affect choices today.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences and recommend whether a more CBT-focused or psychodynamic focus fits best, and can adjust as progress is reviewed. This is a collaborative process where methods are matched to what a person wants to change.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you want to confirm which session formats she currently offers, check the online therapy options before booking. The aim is to make sessions manageable within everyday life, for example shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps you engage.
