Anne Berbece is a PACFA counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate hard life moments. She brings eight years of experience and a steady, empathetic presence to sessions. Anne aims to create a respectful environment where clients feel heard and understood.

Her work focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and depression as well as addictions, grief and sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports people facing mood disorders, ADHD, compassion fatigue and midlife crisis. Anne pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns that affect how people relate to others.

Anne draws on several therapy styles to meet different needs. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working to build safety in the room.

Her background includes a master’s level education in mental health counselling and years of practical work with trauma-aware approaches. That combination guides how she assesses struggles and shapes personalised plans with clients. Anne describes her approach as humble, curious and patient.

For someone feeling stuck or facing a big life change, she offers steady, practical support. People who want to start are invited to complete the site questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if it feels like the right fit.

How Anne's approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings and then take small steps towards what matters to them. It suits people who want to build values-based goals despite anxiety or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with real-life actions, which can help with anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps people develop different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne aims to explore methods with clients and agree on what fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting counselling into busy routines, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed.
