Annette Buswell, BACP

Annette Buswell is an integrative psychotherapist who combines a range of therapeutic skills to support adults and young people through life challenges. She is an NLP Master Practitioner, coach and hypnotherapist, and has trained in mindfulness, offering mindful relaxation sessions as part of her practice.

Working in private practice, she draws on varied approaches to explore what has been happening in a person’s life and to help them move toward a healthier, more satisfying and meaningful life. Her work includes both short-term and longer-term integrative therapy, with a core grounding in a person-centred approach that emphasises empathy and strong therapeutic rapport so clients can work at their own pace.

Annette has experience with a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress and panic attacks, depression, bereavement, anger management, low self-esteem and self-confidence, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, self-harm and suicidal ideation, end of life concerns and phobias. She works within the BACP Ethical Framework - BACP being the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and maintains liability insurance and a DBS certificate.

She believes that a reliable, caring relationship outside of the usual social circle gives people the space to find their own path. Developing compassion and self-kindness is central to the work she offers, and she aims to help clients access their inner resources so they can heal and rediscover a sense of direction.
