Anabelle Tidmarsh , BACP

Anabelle Tidmarsh is a person-centred practitioner who focuses on helping people reconnect with their own resilience and inner resources. She holds an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy with distinction from Keele University, and brings both her formal training and her experience as a former client to her therapeutic work. Anabelle works from a stance of respectful curiosity, supporting clients to explore what has shaped them and what they can draw on to move forward.

Anabelle has supported people with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem. She incorporates relaxation and yoga sessions for clients who have experienced trauma, encouraging gentle attention to the body as part of emotional healing. In sessions she helps clients identify defence systems that may once have been helpful but are now limiting, and she collaborates with them to clarify what they would like to gain from counselling.

Believing that the person in front of her is the expert on their own life, Anabelle aims to build a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship that encourages exploration and positive change. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In her free time she enjoys family time and walking her springer spaniel, Olly.
