Annabel Minors

Hello, I’m Annabel, I am an experienced qualified counsellor, I can help you to feel better about yourself and make sense of your difficulties and fears. I offer gentle, accepting listening so that you feel heard and understood, whatever you need to explore. I will work with you in a collaborative, down to earth and compassionate way . I was born and bred in Yorkshire and lived in France for over 35 years before relocating back to the UK. I conduct therapy in both English and French.

Do you struggle with low self-esteem or feel you’re just not good enough ? Do you constantly worry what others think of you or feel hindered by anxiety ? Perhaps you are finding a particular situation or life event overwhelming ? You might not be able to pinpoint what exactly is bothering you, you just want clarity and to be able to make positive changes in your life.

I believe that having a place to talk freely about our worries, without feeling any judgment or expectations enables us to gain awareness and changes happen. I can support you to explore your thoughts and feelings however difficult or confusing they may be. We will discover together any underlying causes, how you can relate better to others and especially, be kinder to yourself.

I work in an intuitive way, tailoring the sessions to your needs, often with humour and always with kindness.

These are some of the areas I have experience working with :

• Anxiety, low-mood, depression

• Low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence

• Relational issues, with a partner, family member or colleague

• Narcissistic or emotional abuse

• Coercive control and undue influence in a domestic or group setting

• Feeling rootless, not belonging / intercultural issues

• Work-related stress and work issues

My own struggles and difficulties led me to counselling which in turn sparked a desire to help others to understand themselves and make changes for the better. You have found someone who understands how tough life can be and offers warm and caring support. I believe we all have an innate capacity to grow and reach our potential in the right supportive environment.

I have a wide and varied experience both professionally and personally. I worked in the corporate world of international marketing before retraining as a counsellor in France over 12 years ago. Alongside my private practice I work as a counsellor for Survive North Yorkshire, a specialist counselling service for people who have experienced sexual violence or domestic abuse.

Our first session is an opportunity for both of us to see if we are a good client/counsellor fit. I will ask you a few questions about your situation and what brings you to seek therapy at this particular time. You will be able to find out more about how I work and what counselling with me might entail.

At the end of the session you if you feel that you would like to continue then we can book you in for another session.

Notre premier rendez-vous vous permet d'expliquer les raisons qui vous amènent en thérapie et de découvrir comment nous pourrons travailler ensemble. Il est important que vous vous sentez en confiance avec votre thérapeute et après ce premier contact vous pourrez décider si vous souhaitez programmer d’autres séances. Nous pourrons dialoguer en français ou en anglais comme vous le préférez.
