About Anna

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of counselling experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Anna also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, and work-related stress.

Anna draws on a background of social work and academic study to inform her approach. Her practical experience before qualifying gave her regular exposure to people coping with loss, illness and major life transitions. That experience shaped how she talks through problems and supports practical next steps.

Her main approach is client-centred counselling, which places the person’s own perspective at the centre of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas when they help move things forward. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than theory-heavy discussion.

Anna aims to help clients notice patterns, test new ways of responding and practise small changes between sessions. She uses mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing to boost motivation and manage unhelpful thinking. People often work on improving confidence, handling difficult emotions and rebuilding day-to-day routines.

Practical matters such as coping strategies, planning for stressful moments and managing relationships are treated as part of the work. To begin, Anna asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so goals can be agreed and a plan put in place.

How sessions work

How Anna uses therapeutic approaches online

Anna commonly draws on client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and attachment-based ideas. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s own concerns and priorities, encouraging them to name what matters and to take the lead in setting goals. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas help understand patterns in relationships and how past attachments influence present reactions, which can be useful for anger and relationship-related struggles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting tools and setting short-term goals together so progress feels measurable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices between meetings to support steady change.
