Annie Haggarty, BACP

Annie Haggarty is a UK-credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience who supports people working through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She frames the therapeutic relationship around the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can be drawn on to navigate and overcome current difficulties.

Annie works in a collaborative, empowering way, inviting clients to take practical steps toward greater wellbeing while offering steady support and encouragement. She recognizes that seeking change takes courage and that even small shifts can build toward a more fulfilling life. Her style emphasizes respect for the client’s perspective and a focus on realistic, attainable goals.

Holding the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Annie combines professional training with a person-focused approach to help clients find greater confidence and resilience. She aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Annie Haggarty frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s experience from their own perspective and building on their existing strengths to promote self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive, non-prescriptive space to explore feelings, identity, and self-esteem.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT is often used for managing symptoms, developing coping skills, and working toward clear, achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Annie works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adapt methods as the work progresses so the process remains client-focused and goal-oriented.

Online therapy with Annie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists without needing to rearrange major parts of their day.
