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 anger. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, addiction and adjustment to life changes.

Anna draws on a background in social work and psychology alongside counselling training. She uses a person-centred stance that puts the client's goals at the centre of sessions. Conversations focus on understanding what matters most and finding practical ways forward.

Her approach is flexible. She commonly brings in cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationships and closeness are causing distress. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day coping.

Anna combines hands-on experience with formal study in psychology and social work. That mix informs how she notices stress responses, detects patterns, and supports problem solving. She aims for clear, straightforward sessions that build confidence and calmer routines.

Sessions tend to focus on what the person wants to change next and small steps to get there. Anna emphasises practical strategies alongside space to talk. People working with her often explore ways to manage emotions, rebuild self-worth and move through difficult life events.

How certain approaches translate to online counselling

Anna commonly draws on person-centred practice, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking. Person-centred work focuses on what matters to the individual and encourages them to set goals and lead the pace of sessions. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offer practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. Attachment-based thinking explores patterns in close relationships and can help when trust, closeness or separation are causing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to test different ideas and decide what fits best. Clients are invited to share what feels useful and to adjust the focus over time so sessions meet their changing needs and goals.

The practical benefits of online work can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online talks let them access support from wherever they are based in the United Kingdom and allow sessions to be scheduled around work, childcare or medical appointments.
