Annelise Garnier Counselling
Empowering people to live
authentic and fulfilled lives
Welcome
I'm Annelise and I run a neuro-affirming and trauma-informed counselling practice in the village of Nonington (Kent).
I offer face to face, online (via Zoom) and 'Walk and Talk' therapy sessions.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
ABOUT ME
My commitment to you during our time together is:
-
to treat you with compassion and acceptance - no judgement
-
to be authentic in my relationship with you
-
to affirm and support you in your goals
I offer a safe and contained space where we can explore together
what it feels like being you right now.
I will accompany and empower you to find answers to your questions,
gain clarity and confidence in the midst of confusion and doubt,
peace in the midst of anxiety, and hope in the midst of depression.
Your neurodivergent brain isn't something to overcome.
It's something to understand, appreciate, and work with.
Let's figure out how to do that, together. You already have everything you need.

What I offer
Why therapy?
Each client brings their own experiences and motivations to therapy. Perhaps you want to understand your 'triggers', improve your relationships or explore your identity. Perhaps you want to reclaim the driver's seat in your life and not feel constantly steered by automatic reactions or difficult internal states. Taking time and space to reflect, and feeling fully heard with an empathic counsellor can be truly healing.
How I work
I am a professionally qualified and BACP registered integrative counsellor. I work in person at my private practice in Nonington, 'Walk & Talk' on a pre-agreed route, and online.
-
As a Person-Centred therapist, I believe the answers to your questions lie within you, as does your capacity to grow. I will listen with empathy and will have an unconditional positive regard towards you. I will bring my whole genuine self in our therapeutic relationship.
-
As an Integrative therapist, I am formally trained in a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches, including creative ones. I believe each client has different needs and I will draw on approaches flexibly, as we both feel is appropriate to your needs.
-
As an Inclusive therapist, I strive to work in a way that welcomes and affirms people with disabilities, and all neurotypes, ethnicities, spiritualities, sexualities and genders.
-
As a Relational therapist I will help you become more aware of how your past experiences have shaped your life and the patterns of behaviour that may prevent you from developing healthy relationships. I will help you develop the skills you need to improve your relationships.
