  • Person-centred approach
  • Cognitive behavioural ideas
  • Attachment perspective

About Anna

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of counselling experience and a longer background working in adult social care. Anna supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anger and related life changes.

She works in a person-centred way that puts the client's perspective first. Sessions focus on helping people identify problems, talk them through, and find practical next steps. Anna says she draws on other approaches when helpful, including cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking.

Before moving into counselling practice she worked for many years in adult social work and completed academic study in psychology and social work. That experience informs how she notices practical problems and supports problem solving alongside emotional work.

In the room she aims to help clients raise confidence and feel less stuck. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, spotting patterns from early relationships, or using simple mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity.

People often come with issues around relationships, addiction, parenting stress, sleep and eating changes, career pressures or neurodiversity-related concerns. Anna also lists support for LGBT issues, trauma and intimate difficulties among her areas of focus.

She works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients use the site's matching process and schedule an initial session through the online booking steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Anna uses a person-centred approach that places the client's perspective at the centre of each session. That means sessions focus on what feels important to the client, with the counsellor listening and helping identify practical next steps or changes to try. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in her practice looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT tools can help with anger by spotting triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practising different responses. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Anna will discuss what feels most useful and agree a plan together, adapting methods as goals and needs become clearer. She aims to work collaboratively so the client understands why a particular technique is being used and how it might help day to day. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also be suited to practising techniques between sessions and carrying new strategies into everyday routines.
