About Anna
Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and changes in life circumstances. She also helps with addictions, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, career issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue among other challenges.
Anna draws on a person-centred style that puts the client at the centre of the work. She aims to build a respectful, compassionate working relationship where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on understanding difficulties, identifying practical steps and building confidence to make changes.
Her background includes a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work, alongside counselling skills training at levels 2, 3 and 4. Before qualifying as a counsellor she spent ten years working as an adult social worker, bringing practical experience of supporting people through tough situations.
While person-centred work is the main thread of her practice, Anna also uses other approaches when helpful. These include cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support goal setting and coping skills.
People who come to Anna often want clear, down-to-earth help getting unstuck. She focuses on small, realistic steps and on building strengths that help in daily life. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
How Anna's approaches translate online
Anna uses person-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people untangle everyday problems. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, building trust and following what you want to address; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the focus as progress is made. The first sessions typically look at what matters most and agree practical steps to try between meetings.
Confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to schedule sessions around work, care commitments or medical appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as mindfulness exercises, thought records and goal-setting to remote sessions so people keep progressing in everyday life.
