ANNIE BENNETT

Annie Bennett is one of the UK’s foremost psychotherapists specialising in love addiction. Her work has been featured widely across the print media and her book, The Love Trap, was recently published by Hammersmith Press.  She is a member of BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, a registered counsellor with UKRC, UK Registered Counsellors, and has a Diploma in Counselling Therapy.  Annie is also a recognised provider for health insurance companies - BUPA and others.

Practicing initially in bereavement therapy, Annie trained in the mid-1990s as an addiction counsellor. She worked extensively in the UK, Spain and US before founding her Harley Street private practice in 2004.

She has worked at some of the world’s leading centres for addiction therapy. In 2002, she was invited as visiting therapist to work at The Meadows Centre for Trauma and Addiction in the US. In 2005, she was invited by the Priory Hospital in Roehampton to head up its Trauma programme.

The Love Trap explores the concept and treatment of love addiction. Its extensive press coverage led to the development of a sister website and series of workshops addressing the issue of breaking free from love addiction – including one scheduled at UKESAD 2010.

From her private practice in Harley Street she works extensively with individuals and couples on issues including love addiction, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. Her integrative approach draws upon elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, person- centred counselling, family systems and experiential approaches. Her work is tailored to the needs of the individual but can include couples sessions and workshops in addition to individual work. Where necessary, patient treatment or other therapeutic interventions is encouraged.
