About Annette

Annette Buswell is an integrative psychotherapist who brings a range of clinical skills to her private practice, including qualifications as an NLP Master Practitioner, coach and hypnotherapist. She has also trained in mindfulness and runs Mindful Relaxation Sessions to support clients who want tools for calm and presence.

Working with both adults and young people, Annette draws on a flexible mix of therapeutic approaches to explore what has been happening in a person's life and to help them move toward a healthier, more satisfying way of living. Her practice aims to combine empathy, practical tools and reflective work so each person can progress at their own pace.

Annette has experience addressing a broad range of issues such as anxiety, stress and panic attacks, depression, bereavement, anger management, low self-esteem and confidence, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, self-harm and suicidal ideation, end of life concerns and phobias. She offers both short-term and longer-term integrative therapy tailored to individual needs.

She works within the BACP Ethical Framework - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and holds liability insurance and a DBS certificate. Her core training is rooted in a person-centred approach where building rapport and offering empathic understanding are central to meaningful change. Annette aims to provide a non-judgemental, caring space where people can find compassion for themselves and support through their process of transformation.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Annette integrates client-centered therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting relationship where the therapist listens with empathy so clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions; it is well suited for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and major life changes. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help access inner resources and change unhelpful patterns, which can assist with anxiety, phobias and habits. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, helpful for anxiety, stress and coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Annette works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative orientation helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Annette is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while balancing work and family commitments, and they support continuity of care when in-person appointments are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists offering online work can adapt techniques to be effective across these different communication formats.
