About Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie Andersen uses a blend of talking therapies to help people manage stress and anxiety. She works in straightforward ways to address trauma and abuse, anger, low mood, and low self-esteem.

She has three years of professional experience as a psychotherapist and is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
How Anne-Marie works
She listens for strengths and helps people notice what already works in their lives. Sessions are practical and focused on small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. Anne-Marie draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. Those two approaches are mixed to suit each person’s needs and pace. Common themes she helps with include abandonment and attachment issues, body image, guilt and shame, and struggles with control or impulsivity.
She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, caring responsibilities, divorce or separation, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. Her style is collaborative and non-judgmental. She encourages people to set realistic goals and to try small experiments between sessions.
The focus is on building tools that fit into everyday life and on restoring more calm and confidence over time.

How CBT and Psychodynamic Work Online
Anne-Marie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic approaches in online work. CBT focuses on recognising unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood and anger. It is useful when someone wants practical tools to break distressing patterns.Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships. It helps people understand recurring patterns such as attachment worries, guilt or issues with control. This approach can bring insight that supports longer term change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anne-Marie will help people decide which method or mix fits their goals, needs and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy days.
