About me
How Counselling Can Help
Hi my name is Annelaine and I am very passionate about helping all individuals, from all walks of life, to gain control back into their lives, be able to use their own initiative and make decisions for themselves. When all of us reach a low point within our lives it can make us feel vulnerable and enhance feelings of insecurity. Here is where I would like the opportunity to unravel and explore alongside of you, any issues you may be facing, from: Anxiety; Depression; Relationship Issues; Work Related Stress; Trauma; feelings of Self-Worth; Confidence Issues and much more and be able to help you look at these issues with a fresh pair of eyes by helping to put these into perspective. I want to then, be able to offer you coping mechanisms and strategies in moving forward, feeling freer within yourselves, to enjoy life more without either past or present negative thoughts, feelings and emotions standing in the way. I also want to help you to understand and manage these powerful normal reactions that can be distorted through many different issues we face on a daily basis. Such as, hectic lifestyles that have been thrust upon us from a very fast moving world, with lots of demands and constant changes which are ongoing and unsettling. These can both be historical or present and rearrange them together in a more positive and healthier way in moving forward.

Member organisations

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.
