About Annie

Annie Haggarty is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety and low mood, as well as those managing addictions, trauma and issues with self-esteem and motivation.

Annie approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Her style is practical and person-centred.

Background and approach

She encourages straightforward conversation about what is worrying someone now and what changes would feel helpful. Sessions are respectful and paced to suit each person’s needs. The work can include looking at thoughts and behaviours alongside more empathic listening.

Annie uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive atmosphere where clients can explore difficult feelings. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, manageable changes. These approaches are used to address depression, anxiety, grief, career concerns and life transitions.

People often seek her help for relationship concerns such as communication problems, commitment worries and separation, as well as for practical issues like caregiving strain, chronic illness or body image. She also has experience with matters linked to abandonment, attachment and co-dependency.

Sessions are offered in English and are available remotely, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Annie aims to support clients as they take steps towards clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day routines.

How Annie’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor listens with empathy. This approach helps people clarify feelings, make sense of difficult experiences and build on their own strengths.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping strategies such as substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend ways to proceed. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief updates between sessions, or want therapy that fits around work and family commitments.
