About Annie

Annie Haggarty is a counsellor with three years of UK-based professional experience. She uses her background to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and struggles with motivation. Annie frames people as the expert of their own story and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths.

People who come to Annie often want practical ways to feel steadier day to day. She listens without judging and helps clients set clear, achievable steps. Sessions may involve talking through difficult memories, practising new thinking habits, or trying small changes that make a difference at home or at work.

Annie draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive space where clients lead the pace and focus. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviours. Together these approaches aim to combine understanding with practical tools.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, career stress, body image and challenges that come with chronic illness or caring responsibilities. Annie also supports people facing relationship break-up, issues with commitment and communication, and complex emotional reactions such as abandonment fears.

She offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.

How Annie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In this approach the counsellor offers acceptance and support while the person chooses what to talk about and how quickly to move. It suits people who want a steady, understanding space to make sense of things.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and problem habits such as addictive behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Annie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and comfort level. The plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel, allow a shorter check-in between commitments, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and homework to suit remote sessions so therapy remains practical and goal-focused.
