Annabel Liesel Jones, Family & Systemic Psychotherapist, CBT Therapist

About me

My name is Annabel, and I'm a CBT and family & systemic psychotherapist working across the lifespan. I come

with a broad range of experience and skills, having worked in CAMHS and adult public mental health services

for over 10 years. I have worked extensively in the area of complex mental health, particularly with psychosis

and bipolar. I also have experience working with common mental health difficulties, and difficulties within

different types of relationships.

Therapy is always a collaborative process. No two sessions look the same. My role shifts depending on what's

needed. At times I may be a guiding partner in your journey of discovery, at other times I might offer specific

skills or ideas, and sometimes I help foster deeper understanding and communication between people.

Usually we would start with an assessment session, after which I would share a suggested number of

sessions, and what approach I think may be helpful. I can also offer one-off consultations. I am experienced in

models which an be used in single session or brief therapy (1-4 sessions), which can be helpful in some

circumstances.

When we therapy, I take a broad view-looking not just at the immediate concerns, but at the wider context of

your life, relationships, and history. I believe most people are doing the best they can with what they know, and

that therapy can offer new perspectives, tools, and ways of relating that help move things forward. Your

strengths and skills have an important place in therapy. We will work according to your goals.

We're all shaped by visible and invisible differences-our beliefs, cultures, identities, and lived experiences. Part

of my role is to understand how these factors influence the way you see the world, relate to others, and define

what a good life looks like for you and your family- to help us find the way forwards.

If you like the sound of my approach, please do get in touch! I offer a 10-20 minute introductory call to explore

whether we would be a good fit for working together.

Fees

I am currently experimenting with it is sustainable to provide therapy on radical sliding scale. I invite you to

choose a fee that feels fair and doable in your circumstances, from between £30-£150+, rather than having a

fixed session fee. I am hoping that those with more means will help make therapy accessible for those on lower income. Sessions have a standard length of 50 minutes however this can be flexible based on your needs and

preferences.
