About Anabelle
Anabelle Tidmarsh is a person-centred counsellor with a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Keele University, awarded with distinction. She draws on four years of practice to help clients untangle anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and other life stresses. Anabelle focuses on building a trusting relationship so people feel safe to talk and be heard.
She believes clients are the experts on themselves and that therapy can help reconnect them with inner strengths. Sessions look at patterns and defence systems that once helped but now feel limiting. Anabelle gently encourages people to clarify what they want from counselling and to set small, achievable goals.
Her work often includes body-focused practices such as relaxation and yoga for people who have experienced trauma. These approaches are used alongside talking to bring attention to bodily sensations and to support overall wellbeing. She pays attention to each person’s support network and day-to-day strengths when planning sessions.
People describe her approach as warm and attentive, with an emphasis on practical steps and self-understanding. Outside work she spends time with family and walks her springer spaniel, Olly. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works in English.
If you are thinking about counselling for stress, relationship concerns, parenting pressures, grief or changes to mood, Anabelle offers a person-centred space to begin exploring these issues and finding what helps.
How client-centred work and online counselling connect
Client-Centred Therapy centres the person in front of the counsellor. It focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people notice their own strengths. This approach is often used for worries like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns because it gives space to talk through what matters most.Person-centred work can be combined with gentle body-focused practices such as relaxation and yoga-based awareness. These techniques help people tune into bodily sensations linked to trauma and stress, and can support clearer thinking and calmer responses during everyday life.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adjust the way they work together. That collaborative step helps match the style of counselling to what feels most useful for the individual.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find that online or remote sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Others prefer face-to-face contact; the counsellor will discuss what works best and adapt sessions to fit daily routines.
