Terri Anderson, BACP

Terri Anderson is a counsellor with six years of practice in England and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She speaks English and works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Terri aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to feel safer talking about hard things.

She uses straightforward, person-centred methods to shape sessions around each person’s needs. That means listening first, then helping you set clear goals and practical steps. Terri also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness strategies to build calmer responses.

Common concerns she supports include low self-esteem, coping with life changes, sleep problems, anger and addictions. She also works with those facing relationship strain, LGBT issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD and trauma or abuse. Additional focuses include caregiving stress, attachment issues, communication problems and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Terri emphasises simple tools you can use between meetings, such as breathing practices, activity planning and small behavioural experiments. Progress is reviewed regularly so the approach can be adjusted.

People interested in online or remote work can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are accepted and Terri will discuss practical arrangements and how to get started when you make first contact.

Online approaches that focus on people and skills

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely and helps you set the aim and pace of sessions, which suits people who need space to be heard and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions; it uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Terri will talk with you about your goals and preferences and recommend approaches that fit your needs. The plan is collaborative so adjustments can be made as you try techniques and see what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let you work face to face when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, while live chat or text messaging support quick reflections or ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and let you pick the format that feels most useful.
