About Anabelle
Anabelle Tidmarsh is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She trained to MSc level in Counselling and Psychotherapy and uses a person-centred approach. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, relationships, self-esteem and related concerns.
Anabelle describes the counselling relationship as a practical tool. She focuses on understanding a client's support network and the life experiences that shaped them. Sessions include talking through current difficulties and identifying habits and defences that once helped but now hold someone back.
She makes space for body-focused techniques alongside talking. Her background includes running relaxation and yoga sessions for people who have experienced trauma, bringing awareness to physical responses while discussing mental health.
Anabelle aims to work collaboratively, inviting clients to set clear goals for what they want from counselling. She frames the client as the expert on their life and offers questioning, reflection and encouragement to help discover practical strategies.
Outside work she spends time with family and walks her springer spaniel, Olly. That everyday rhythm informs her straightforward, steady approach in sessions. If anger, relationship strain, ongoing stress or low mood are present, she focuses on helping people understand patterns and try different ways of responding.
How sessions work
How Anabelle uses person-centred work online
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflection. It helps people talk through what matters to them and notice unhelpful patterns. This approach suits issues like low mood, relationship tension and anger that come from repeated ways of reacting.Anabelle also brings body-awareness techniques into sessions, such as relaxation and gentle yoga-based practices. These aim to help people recognise how stress and trauma show up in the body and practise simple ways to calm physical tension alongside talking.
Figuring out the right approach is part of the early work. She will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide what feels most useful. That collaborative process can include trying different exercises or pacing sessions differently depending on what you need.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week - sessions can be shorter check-ins, timed around a break at work, or arranged for quieter parts of the day. It also removes travel time and can help people keep a steady routine while they address anger, stress or trauma.
