How Anneke’s approaches work online
Anneke combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to support practical change. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, helping them feel accepted and able to decide what to work on. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change routines and feelings. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve sleep.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anneke will check what matters most to the person, discuss options, and adapt methods as goals become clearer. The aim is to find approaches that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video calls are helpful for a fuller conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows reflection between sessions. These options support flexible scheduling and make it easier to maintain regular contact from different locations.
