About Anna
Anna Graham is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and related concerns. Sessions address mood problems such as depression and sleeping or eating difficulties alongside relationship and intimacy-related issues.
She aims to adapt the work to each person rather than use a fixed formula. Early sessions focus on what the client hopes to change and on practical steps that could help. Sometimes that means talking things through; other times it means practising specific coping strategies between sessions.
Her background includes supporting people with trauma, and she uses approaches designed for trauma work when appropriate. She also brings mindfulness-based ideas into sessions to help with stress and anxious thinking. EMDR is listed among her approaches and may be used when it fits the person's needs.
Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused conversations that surface triggers and patterns. Anna helps people map out options and choose techniques they are willing to try. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps people can use in daily life.
She also works with issues related to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, family problems, separation and intimacy-related worries. Practical problems such as chronic illness, pain, or work-related stress are included in her remit, and she will discuss which approaches suit those situations.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy is built around the person's own goals. The counsellor listens, reflects what is said and helps the person decide practical next steps to try between sessions. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship concerns and low mood by clarifying what matters to the client.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method aimed at reducing the intensity of distressing memories. It involves structured tasks alongside guided recall and may be offered when trauma-focused work is appropriate.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and manage stress. These techniques can be used alongside other approaches to support sleep, anxiety and everyday coping.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the different approaches with the client and decide together which methods match the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as progress is made.
If you plan to have sessions online, check which formats are currently offered before booking. The biography does not specify formats, so confirm whether appointments are by video call, phone or another arrangement. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
