About Anna

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also helps with addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges linked to career and caregiving. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is one of the areas she lists support for.

Anna draws on a person-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the person's own goals and experiences. She aims to build a respectful, non-judgemental space so people can talk through what feels hard and try out new ways of coping.

Her background includes a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work. She has practical experience from a decade working as an adult social worker alongside counselling training at levels 2, 3 and 4. Those combined experiences shape how she understands stress, loss and recovery.

In practice she uses attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness and motivational interviewing when these fit the person's needs. Sessions usually focus on clear, manageable steps - practical ways to reduce distress and build confidence over time.

People who choose Anna can expect straightforward conversations about goals, regular reviews of progress and options for different approaches. She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom under her BACP registration.

How Anna's approaches work online

Anna uses client-centred ways of working that put the person's priorities first, helping them name what matters and set realistic goals. This approach suits people who want a supportive, listening space to figure things out.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) tools to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because they focus on small, testable steps. Attachment-based ideas are also part of her approach and help when relationship patterns and past losses affect current wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Reviews are built in so the plan can change if something isn't helping.

Session formats are not specified in the provided information, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals offer many ways to make therapy fit everyday life.
