About Anna
Anna Bridgland is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has seven years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship worries and family and parenting tensions. Anna also supports people facing addiction, grief, low self-esteem and anger-related concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way day to day. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication. Anna draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what the person brings to the room and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours.
Her approach is conversational and goal-focused. People are invited to set small, achievable aims such as reducing outbursts, improving reactions at work, or repairing strained relationships. Together they track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Anna pays attention to how family roles and parenting stress influence mood and anger. She works through communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation that often sit under repeated conflict.
Practical topics such as time management, coping when feeling overwhelmed, and rebuilding self-respect feature in sessions. She also helps people think about career pressures, social anxiety and decisions around intimacy.
To start, Anna asks new clients to provide a brief history and current priorities so early sessions can focus on what matters most. Her style aims to be plain, direct and useful for daily life.
How Anna uses client-centred work and CBT online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk through anger triggers and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and suggests small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for managing workplace frustration, social anxiety and recurring outbursts.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Anna treats it as a collaborative process and reviews what is or isn’t helping. She will discuss goals and adjust methods to fit what you want to achieve and how you prefer to work.
