About Anabelle
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience, Anabelle Tidmarsh focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and related difficulties. She works in a person-centred way and places the counselling relationship at the core of her practice. Anabelle uses conversation and practical awareness exercises to help people better understand their coping patterns and strengths.
She trained at Keele University and holds an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy, awarded with distinction. That academic background sits alongside her own experience as a client, which she says informs how she listens and responds. Anabelle describes people as the experts on their own lives and starts from that perspective.
Sessions typically begin by looking at what the person hopes to change and what has helped them so far. She pays attention to a person’s support network and existing resources. Anabelle also uses relaxation and yoga-based practices when helpful, particularly with people who have experienced trauma, to bring more awareness to the body alongside talking.
She helps people talk through a wide range of concerns, including relationships, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stresses, anger and self-esteem challenges. Her approach aims to identify defence systems that once helped but now limit day-to-day life, and to explore alternatives that feel workable.
Outside work she spends time with her family and walks her springer spaniel, Olly. Those quieter routines inform how she encourages steady, practical steps in therapy.

How her approaches fit with online work
Her primary method is Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and supports the client to make sense of their feelings. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and general anxiety.She also integrates relaxation and yoga-informed practices to bring attention to the body as well as thoughts. These practices can help people who have experienced trauma or who struggle with sleep and anxiety by teaching simple breath and grounding techniques to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to decide which methods to use, adapting them to a person's needs, goals and preferences as therapy progresses.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt conversation and body-awareness practices to suit those practical constraints.
