Annie Taylor, NCPS

Annie Taylor is a counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She holds NCPS and brings three years of practical experience. Annie aims to meet people with respect and sensitivity as they take the first steps towards change.

She adapts sessions to each person’s needs and works alongside clients to build realistic plans. Conversations focus on day-to-day patterns, small habit changes and coping skills that can be used between meetings. Annie often supports people dealing with trauma, anger, addictions, self-esteem and changes in life circumstances.

Her background includes a range of roles across the sector before moving into independent practice. That experience includes working with young people, people with long-term illness and those who have spent time in the criminal justice system. These varied roles inform a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.

Annie values honesty, individual difference and connection. She describes the therapeutic relationship as a place to sit with difficulty, try suggestions and learn what works for each person. She will not claim to have every answer but aims to offer steady support through times of chaos and stuckness.

People meet her for help with grief, relationship problems, sleeping and eating difficulties, attention issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping after major life events. Conversations are shaped around thoughts and everyday habits so clients can practise changes between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgement. It helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings and make their own decisions about change.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily signals without getting swept away. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress and sleeping problems by building steady, practical habits.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and imagery to help people access different ways of thinking and responding. Some people find it useful for habits, sleep and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and try methods that match the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and choices about whether to use video or not, depending on what feels practical for daily life.
