Anabelle Tidmarsh
Person-centred counsellor focusing on resilience
About Anabelle
Anabelle Tidmarsh trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds an MSc counselling and psychotherapy with distinction from Keele University. She works from a person-centred perspective and believes the therapeutic relationship helps people find their own resilience and inner resources. Anabelle draws on her own experience as a client to inform how she understands others.
She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Anabelle spends time getting to know each person's background and support network.
Background and approach
She asks about strengths and the experiences that have shaped someone’s life. This helps her and the person she is supporting to set clear goals for therapy. Sessions focus on what the person wants to gain and on exploring patterns that may have helped in the past but now feel limiting.
Her practice covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also works with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting questions, anger and relationship worries. LGBT issues are listed among her areas of experience.
Anabelle has run relaxation and yoga sessions for people who have experienced trauma and values bringing awareness to the body when talking about mental health. She aims to offer a calm, accepting space where people can feel seen and heard as they talk through difficult topics. Outside of work she enjoys time with her family and walks with her springer spaniel, Olly.
Her style is warm, respectful and collaborative, helping people take practical steps towards change.

How a person-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and person. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person notice their own strengths and choices. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk about anxiety, stress, depression, grief or relationship worries.Anabelle also brings body-awareness techniques into sessions, such as relaxation and simple movement practices used alongside talking. These methods can help people who have experienced trauma or who notice bodily tension when anxious or stressed. The emphasis is on gentle awareness rather than on prescriptive exercises.
Choosing the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. If adjustments are needed over time the plan can change to better match what helps you make progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer not to speak aloud. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping therapeutic continuity.
