Annie Haggarty, BACP

Annie Haggarty is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self esteem and confidence. Annie presents herself as a supportive guide who believes clients know their own stories and strengths. She aims to empower people to take the first steps towards change.

Her approach is practical and person-led. Sessions focus on listening and understanding the situation people bring. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s pace and to build a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to help notice and shift patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.

Annie often helps people manage life transitions and work-related stress. She also supports those dealing with grief, chronic health issues, communication problems and commitment or control concerns. She works with a wide range of issues linked to relationships, self-image and career pressures.

Her style is plain and straightforward. Conversations aim to be practical and focused on what the person wants to change. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk and to try out new ways of coping.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is shown as BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, people use the platform’s continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Annie blends client-centred work with CBT online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the individual. It gives the person space to tell their story and decide what they want to work on. This approach is useful for building trust and for people who need time to organise their thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot patterns that keep anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviours going, and then try practical changes. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Annie will help figure out what fits best based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. She aims to work collaboratively so sessions reflect what the person hopes to achieve.

The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people keep regular momentum between appointments while trying out changes in day-to-day situations.
