About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She uses a respectful, compassionate style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction and trauma. Anneke draws on 13 years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, bringing steady support to people taking difficult first steps toward change.
She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside listening and emotional support. That can include looking at thought patterns, developing new coping routines, and practising present-moment awareness.
Her background includes work with eating difficulties, grief, sleep problems, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Anneke also supports people dealing with career strain, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and the challenges of long-term health conditions.
Additional areas she attends to are ADHD, attachment concerns, body image and complex relationship topics such as commitment issues and blended family dynamics. She also addresses less commonly discussed areas including kink and alternative sexual cultures, and the effects of chronic illness on daily life.
People who come to Anneke often want a calm, non-judgemental space to figure out next steps. She aims to empower clients to set achievable goals and build tools they can use between sessions. The emphasis is on practical progress alongside personal understanding.
