Annabel Minors

Annabel Minors is a counsellor with over 12 years' experience supporting people who feel stuck, isolated or overwhelmed. She works with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Annabel offers a calm, accepting presence and aims to make it easier to talk about painful topics.

Her style is down to earth and intuitive. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of what is happening in their lives. Sessions focus on understanding the patterns that keep problems repeating and finding small, practical steps to change them.

Annabel has lived and worked in both France and the United Kingdom. That experience informs her sensitivity to multicultural concerns and to what it feels like not to belong. She often supports people dealing with workplace stress, communication problems and the fallout from separation or infidelity.

Her work draws on client-centred therapy, which places the person’s experience at the centre of the session, and psychodynamic ideas that look at past relationships and patterns. Together these approaches help people explore feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame and build more self-compassion.

If isolation or loneliness is part of your struggle, Annabel helps people talk through those feelings and find ways to reconnect. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short questionnaire so sessions can be matched to individual needs and circumstances.

How her approaches translate to online working

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. It aims to create a space where people feel heard and gradually build their own solutions to stress, loneliness or relationship pain.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past relationships and repeated patterns that affect current life. It can help uncover why certain situations keep causing distress and how old hurts shape present behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Annabel will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match each person’s goals and preferences. The decision about focus and pace is collaborative rather than imposed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments. It also allows for different rhythms of contact, such as shorter check-ins when needed, and can make it simpler to access a therapist who understands multicultural or expatriate experiences.
