Annabel Minors , BACP

Annabel Minors is a United Kingdom based therapist with 12 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She offers calm, accepting listening and works in an intuitive, down-to-earth and compassionate manner to help clients understand the deeper patterns that may be holding them back from making positive changes. Annabel brings practical experience helping people navigate relationship difficulties - whether with partners, family members or colleagues - and has worked with issues such as narcissistic or emotional abuse, coercive control, infidelity, separation and workplace stress.

Having lived in France in her twenties, she understands the practical and emotional challenges of adapting to another culture and language. That personal experience informs her work with intercultural concerns, feelings of not belonging and a sense of rootlessness. For over 12 years she has supported clients in both France and the UK, offering therapy in English and in French.

Annabel draws on client-centered and psychodynamic approaches to create a collaborative space where clients can increase self-understanding, improve communication and build healthier ways of relating. She holds membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers empathetic, non-judgmental listening and supports the person to explore feelings and values at their own pace - this approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that develop from earlier relationships and how those patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. By gently exploring these underlying dynamics, clients can gain insight into attachment issues, recurring relationship difficulties and deeper sources of distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Annabel works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals and preferences, and to determine which methods are the best fit. This collaborative process helps tailor therapy to each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from different locations and to choose a format that feels most comfortable. Therapists can adapt their methods to work effectively across these different ways of meeting.
