About Anna
Anna Reeves is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression and ADHD. Anna lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas and offers help for related problems such as panic attacks and workplace issues.
She has worked in several clinical settings, including an adult inpatient unit and a CAMHS eating disorder inpatient service. She also spent time as a school counsellor using play-based techniques in a primary school. These roles have shaped how she supports people with complex or layered difficulties.
Anna works in an integrative way with a mainly person-centred approach. That means conversations begin with what matters to the client, and the counsellor follows the person's lead while offering structure where it helps. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, systemic thinking, Gestalt, psychodynamic and narrative approaches when these suit a person’s needs.
In sessions she helps people name what feels hard, look at patterns that keep difficulties going, and try practical steps to reduce distress. For social anxiety and phobia she can help with gradual exposure, thinking styles that increase worry, and strategies for managing panic symptoms.
Sessions are conducted in English. Anna asks people to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to begin.
How Anna uses different approaches in online work
Anna describes her practice as integrative with a mainly person-centred core. Person-centred work focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people clarify what matters most and decide small practical steps to try at home or at work.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thinking and anxiety-driven behaviour. CBT-style techniques can include spotting thinking patterns that increase worry and trying experiments to test those thoughts. Systemic and narrative ideas are drawn on to look at how relationships and personal stories shape current problems, which can be useful for family-related stress or workplace issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and responsibilities. They can shorten travel time and allow people to join appointments from different locations, which helps when scheduling around work or school commitments.
