About Annabel
Annabel Minors is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom and France. She offers calm, accepting listening and practical support for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Annabel aims to make the first steps easier for anyone worrying about relationships, work or low mood.
Her approach is down to earth and intuitive. She helps people name what feels wrong and traces patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding feelings, improving communication and building small changes that can be sustained over time. Annabel draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's experience in the room. She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy ideas to look at past patterns that repeat in current relationships.
Those methods are used to help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship stress. She has direct experience of adapting to life in another country and understands the strain of not belonging. That background informs her work with multicultural concerns, feelings of rootlessness and issues that come from cultural adjustment.
Typical areas she supports include stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes. Other focus areas are attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, infidelity, loneliness, narcissism, women's issues and workplace matters. Sessions are offered in English and French.
Before booking, clients are asked to follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to connect and arrange appointments.

How Annabel works online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past patterns and how they influence present feelings and relationships. It can help uncover recurring dynamics that cause distress and support longer term change in how someone relates to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the client to agree what feels most useful based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can be revisited as therapy progresses.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during busy days or fitting a session around work commitments. It also makes it simple to continue work when someone moves between locations. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what will suit your routine.
