About Annette
Annette Buswell offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She works with adults who are coping with addictions, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and the strain of parenting. Annette helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anger or career pressures. She also has experience supporting those affected by coping with natural or human-caused disaster and related practical and emotional fallout.
Annette practices from a person-centred outlook that emphasises empathy and building trust. She combines that with hypnotherapy, mindfulness techniques and solution-focused tools to suit each person’s needs. Sessions can be short-term to target a specific issue, or longer-term when deeper exploration feels right.
Her background includes seven years working in private practice within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, ethical framework. That experience has given her a wide toolkit to draw from and a pragmatic focus on what helps day to day. She also offers mindful relaxation sessions alongside talking therapy.
In sessions she focuses on helping people develop self-compassion, find clearer choices and build practical coping strategies. Annette aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak freely and work at their own pace. The overall goal is to help clients move towards a healthier, more meaningful life.
Annette’s approach often includes gentle exploration of past patterns, short-term goal work and guided relaxation. She encourages clients to identify small, achievable steps and to notice progress between sessions.
How Annette’s approaches work online
Annette blends person-centred counselling with mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and helping the client set the pace for sessions; it is useful for building trust and working through life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help access resources for behaviour change or easing anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process so the plan can change as the client notices what helps most.
Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the formats available, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life. They can shorten travel time, allow quieter surroundings when possible, and make brief check-ins simpler to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of talking, guided relaxation and mindfulness exercises effectively in remote sessions, helping people build skills they can use between appointments.
