Annie Taylor, NCPS

Annie Taylor uses a client-centred style to help people feel heard and supported. She adopts a gentle, practical approach and focuses on building a working relationship that suits each person. Annie holds NCPS as her listed credential and practises in the United Kingdom.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, addictions and the challenges that follow major life changes. Annie offers help around eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue and ADHD related concerns.

Her background includes a variety of roles across the sector before moving into independent practice. That range of experience means she has worked with people living with long-term illness and with those who have had contact with the criminal justice system. She says she will not turn someone away who reaches out for help.

Annie keeps therapy practical. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula. She uses elements of hypnotherapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred conversations to help people manage emotions and notice patterns that get in the way.

She aims to be straightforward and honest in sessions and to tolerate difficult feelings alongside clients. Annie describes herself as willing to sit with chaos and to offer suggestions when helpful. The overall aim is to support people to find their own solutions and move towards a more manageable life.

Online approaches that focus on connection and calm

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the pace the person prefers to help them explore feelings and choices. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes where being understood helps people think clearly.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for stress, worry, sleep problems and managing emotional ups and downs. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help shift unhelpful patterns and strengthen coping strategies for things like trauma responses, cravings or persistent negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about what feels most useful and try different ways to work together. Goals, personal preferences and how someone responds shape the plan rather than a one-size-fits-all recipe.

Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a full conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when camera use is difficult, while live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
