About Anna
Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years’ experience as a practising counsellor. She supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and other challenges such as relationship strain, addiction and coping with life changes. Anna works with clients who want practical ways to feel more able to manage day-to-day difficulties.
She describes her main approach as person-centred counselling, which means the client leads the focus and pace of sessions while the counsellor listens and reflects. Anna also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful, and uses attachment-based thinking to understand how past relationships influence current patterns. She brings in mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support decision-making and coping skills.
Before her counselling work Anna spent many years in practical social care roles and holds a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work. That combination of front-line experience and study shapes how she looks at problems and practical solutions. Clients will find a mix of talking, problem-solving and learning small skills to try between sessions.
Her focus includes a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and grief, such as sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, chronic health challenges and workplace stress. She also supports people struggling with attachment or abandonment worries and those identifying as LGBT.
To begin, readers are invited to ask questions and use the service’s matching tools to book an initial session. Anna encourages clear, practical steps and aims to help people build manageable ways to cope with everyday pressures.
How Anna uses therapeutic approaches online
Anna uses person-centred counselling as a base, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the client brings to sessions. This approach helps people talk through what matters most to them and decide the next steps at their own pace.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT can be useful for practical problems such as social anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-based thinking is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness in relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy and communication issues.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting as sessions progress. Clients can expect discussion, practical tasks to try between sessions and regular review of what is working.

Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, to have shorter check-ins when needed or to avoid travel time. It can also allow different session rhythms while keeping the same therapeutic methods and focus.
