Dr Anette Magnus (CPsychol, HCPC Reg.)
About me
I am a Chartered Psychologist offering private counselling and psychotherapy in Central London as well as Online.
I work with a wide range of presenting issues, and my areas of specialty include:
- Depression and low mood
- Low self-esteem
- Low self-confidence
- Anxiety
- Managing stress
- Relationship difficulties
- Video gaming (including video gaming addiction)
How I work:
- Collaborative and integrative approach: I tailor my work to your needs and preferences, integrating different techniques and theoretical approaches.
- Focused on your goals: Our work together is always informed by what you believe is most important to work on.
- Structured and with a sense of purpose: We have a clear purpose for our work together, with regular reviews to assess how we are working towards your goals.
- Safe, confidential and welcoming space: Sometimes, our difficulties may feel daunting to talk about with others and attached to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I can offer a safe, confidential and welcoming space where whatever you bring to therapy can be discussed openly and managed without fear of judgement.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Video gaming
One of my areas of special interest is video gaming, including both healthy and problematic engagement with gaming (including video gaming addiction).
In my private practice, I offer counselling and psychotherapy to individuals for whom video gaming is a significant part of their lives. This could include working in the gaming industry, streaming or e-sports, or otherwise be involved with video gaming in their day-to-day life.
I also work with individuals who would like to cut down on their video gaming or feels that their gaming hobby has become problematic.
