Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Horticultural Therapist
Passionate about meaningful conversation, helping others to grow in confidence and be their authentic, ideal self.
Hi, I’m Annabelle, a BACP registered counsellor and horticultural therapist. I follow the BACP Ethical Framework to ensure best practice and my priority is to offer you a safe, confidential space where there is respect, a warm understanding and sensitive encouragement to explore your challenges.
Together, we will work from a humanistic and creative approach, which focuses on you as a whole person, your views, beliefs, unique experiences, and your potential for growth. If you struggle to verbalise your feelings, that’s absolutely ok, I offer visualisation, sandtray and imagery work to enable you feel empowered and able to express yourself.
As a late-diagnosed autistic person, I have a particular interest in neurodiversity and specialise in supporting neurodivergent clients. My experience includes working with a range of client challenges, including anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, self identity, trauma, bereavement, abuse, substance misuse and addiction.
My passion for combining physical activities, such as nature connection and art within conversations influences my approach, but adapting to meet you and your preferred ways of working is my priority.
Talking and being able to verbalise words and emotions comes easily for some people, for others, it can be really difficult. I feel that offering creative counselling enables and empowers everyone to express themselves through any medium that feels right to them in that moment
“Allows me to think, feel and speak freely”
As someone who has tried CBT and talking therapy but felt awkward being face to face with a stranger in a therapy room, seeing Annabelle is a different experience. Annabelle puts me at ease and having the fresh air, plants, birds, mindful tasks like planting seeds, weeding, touching and smelling the herbs, takes away all my self-consciousness and allows me to think, feel and speak freely. It has given me the courage and clarity to make really significant changes in my life, and ongoing support to navigate any difficulties and maintain the positives

“Head space and perspective“
It has given me headspace and perspective which no medication could and I am so grateful for this.
