Annabel Minors

Annabel Minors is a counsellor with 12 years' experience working in the UK and France. She offers calm, attentive listening and aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or isolated. Annabel draws on straightforward, down-to-earth conversation to help clients name what is happening and take small, practical steps forward.

Her approach is gentle and compassionate. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems in place and on finding ways to ease daily stress. People often come to her with anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem or relationship difficulties.

Annabel also works with concerns related to attachment, communication breakdowns, and the effects of narcissistic or emotional abuse. She supports those coping with divorce, feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, jealousy or workplace pressures. She is aware of multicultural challenges from living and working in another country herself.

Her practice combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about patterns and past experience. That mix aims to make sense of current responses and free up choice in how to live. Sessions are kept straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.

Annabel speaks English and French. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. If you want to start, you complete a brief questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit your schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping build self-trust. This approach suits people dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety or the fallout from difficult relationships.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time. It helps uncover how past experience shapes current reactions and relationships, which can be useful for attachment issues, emptiness or repeated relational problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Annabel will discuss how these ways of working might help and will adapt the focus to your goals and preferences. You and the therapist decide together which methods feel most useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs simpler arrangements for scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible ways to meet that suit day-to-day demands.
