About Anna
Anna Gilmore is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She draws on a background in charity work and clinical roles to offer calm, respectful support. Anna is a BACP counsellor and combines practical listening with steady, person-focused care.
She has spent time working across several charities, including Women’s Aid and Mind, and has volunteered with Rape Crisis. That work gave her direct experience with trauma, domestic abuse, sexual assault and related distress. Anna also counsels athletes through Sporting Chance and spends time at Woman's Trust supporting women who have experienced abuse.
Anna uses client-centred therapy to help people feel heard and understood. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, with the counsellor following the person’s lead while offering reflection and gentle challenge. This approach is often chosen for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem concerns.
Her clinical experience includes supporting people with eating difficulties, obsessive compulsive behaviours, self-harm, addiction, mood disorders including bipolar, and insomnia. She also helps those coping with relationship strain, separation and the complex effects of trauma. Anna’s work has involved pre-trial therapy and supporting people with suicidal thoughts, drawn from her charity and clinical roles.
Anna holds a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice and an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience from King’s College London. She has additional qualifications in couples counselling, clinical supervision, safeguarding, autism awareness and training related to sexual oppression, domestic violence and eating disorders.

How Anna's client-centred approach works online
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judging and reflects back what the client says, helping them understand their own thoughts and feelings. This style can help with anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem issues where being heard is the first step.In practice Anna aims to follow the client’s lead and build a working relationship at a comfortable pace. Together they set goals and decide what feels most helpful, adjusting the approach as needs and preferences become clearer. The process is collaborative and tailored to each person rather than prescriptive.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and reduced travel time, which can make regular meetings simpler to sustain. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they need a quick update, while others like longer one-to-one conversations. The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the right session style to the client’s goals and schedule.
