Anabelle Tidmarsh, BACP

She is a person-centred practitioner who trusts the counselling relationship as a tool for helping people reconnect with their resilience and inner resources. She earned an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy with distinction from Keele University, a qualification that reflects her academic training and underpins her practical work. She also holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates a recognised professional affiliation.

Her practice has included support for anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem, and she has delivered relaxation and yoga sessions for people who have experienced trauma, emphasising the value of bringing bodily awareness into emotional healing. She takes time to understand each person’s support network, strengths and formative experiences, and approaches therapy from a client-centred perspective that recognises the individual as the expert on themselves.

In sessions she aims to explore defence patterns that may once have helped but now limit, and to clarify what a person would like to gain from counselling. Her role is to offer a supportive, encouraging relationship in which people can feel seen and heard while working toward meaningful changes. Outside of her professional life she spends time with family and enjoys walking her springer spaniel Olly.
