About Annie
Annie Haggarty is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with addiction. Annie aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.
She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths. In sessions she listens carefully and helps clients notice what already works for them.
How Annie works
That approach helps people build small, realistic changes rather than starting with big leaps. Annie uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's perspective. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings.
These methods are used to tackle issues such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief, and career stress. People come to her with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, codependency, chronic illness or pain, caring responsibilities, and major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with body image, commitment or control issues, and the emotional effects of cancer.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear thinking, and building confidence. Annie encourages clients to set goals at a pace that suits them and to try out new ways of coping between meetings.
If someone prefers to work remotely, she offers video, phone, live chat and text-based options. That flexibility helps people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening to the person's experience and following their lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard, to build confidence, and to clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviours and feelings interact. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits and practical problems like managing stress or addictive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. That means trying out methods and adjusting them so the plan fits how the client likes to work and what they want to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on the move, live chat suits people who prefer written conversation, and text-based messaging supports brief check-ins between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
