About Anna

Anna Clifton works with people facing stress, low mood and relationship strain. She offers practical support for anxiety, grief, addiction concerns and life changes. Anna is a BACP member and brings five years of clinical experience to her work.

She keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on what matters now - coping with pressure, rebuilding self-esteem, or managing difficult feelings after loss. Anna aims to make each meeting feel manageable and clear rather than overwhelming.

Her work is tailored to the person in front of her. She listens for what is causing the most difficulty and helps people try new ways of responding. This can include pacing difficult conversations, identifying patterns that keep problems repeating, and building small practical steps forward.

Anna has worked with people dealing with trauma, addiction, parenting stress and career uncertainty. She also offers support for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and problems that come with ageing or caregiving roles. Her approach is adaptable to those varied concerns and to each person’s goals.

People who choose to work with Anna follow a shared plan. She and the client check progress and change direction if something is not helping. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

Approaches you can expect in online therapy

Anna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present difficulties and practical change. One approach concentrates on building coping strategies and routines to reduce anxiety and low mood, helping people manage stress day to day. Another approach looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping clients notice repeated behaviours and try different responses to improve closeness and communication.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Anna will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative choice and can be reviewed as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and let people join from wherever they are based. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly offer these practical benefits when arranging remote therapy.
