Annette Buswell , BACP

Annette Buswell is an integrative psychotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, coach and hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom. She has trained in mindfulness and offers mindful relaxation sessions to help people develop calm, present-moment awareness. In private practice she works with both adults and young people, drawing on a range of approaches to explore what has happened in a person’s life and to support the move toward a healthier, more satisfying and meaningful life.

Her clinical experience includes helping with anxiety, stress and panic attacks, depression, bereavement, anger management, low self-esteem and self-confidence, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, self-harm and suicidal ideation, end-of-life concerns and phobias. She provides both long-term and short-term integrative therapy and may combine techniques from neuro-linguistic programming, coaching and hypnotherapy when these fit a client’s needs.

Annette’s core training is rooted in a person-centred approach that emphasises empathy, rapport and working at the client’s pace. She practices within the BACP Ethical Framework - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and maintains liability insurance and a DBS certificate. She believes a trustworthy, non-judgemental relationship outside a client’s usual circle creates the space needed for reflection and change.

Her work focuses on developing self-compassion and inner resources, helping people find their own path forward. With a wide variety of tools drawn from her training and experience, she supports clients through life changes and the process of healing with care and respect.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Annette Buswell

Annette uses client-centred therapy, which places the person at the centre of the process and relies on empathy and acceptance to help people explore feelings, make sense of experiences, and build self-trust - it is well suited to issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes.

She also offers hypnotherapy, a guided approach that helps clients access a relaxed, focused state in order to work on anxiety, habit change and behaviour patterns, and mindfulness therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and relaxation skills useful for stress, grief and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself and is approached collaboratively. Annette will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt methods over time so therapy fits the individual’s pace and aims. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these formats to shape an individualized plan.

Online therapy with Annette is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, choose the interaction style that feels most helpful, and access support from home or work.
