About Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie Bates is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are delivered with respect and sensitivity, and she adapts how she works to each persons needs.
She has worked in higher education supporting students and staff, and in private practice with clients from a range of backgrounds. That variety means she is used to straightforward, everyday problems as well as longer-standing struggles. She listens to what matters to the client and uses that to shape conversations and goals.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions can involve exploring feelings and personal experience, looking at thought patterns that affect mood, and identifying small practical steps to try between meetings.
Anne-Marie also works on related issues such as body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and life-purpose concerns. She can help people examine impulses, self-harm thoughts, sexuality questions and social anxiety in a measured way.
Practical matters such as session format and cost vary by location. The provider uses a cancellable subscription for sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the See online therapy options button.

How Anne-Marie uses her approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and personal perspective. In practice this means the counsellor listens to what matters most and reflects it back, helping the person clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test simple behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anne-Marie will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help counselling fit into everyday life.
