About Anna
Anna Doherty is a BACP counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing addiction, eating concerns, grief, trauma and life changes. Anna writes plainly and listens closely to each person’s story before suggesting a way forward.
Anna practises a client-centred approach and combines that with mindfulness and body-based techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and somatic ideas when they suit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical strategies and gentle reflection rather than jargon or rigid routines.
Her background includes a mix of counselling and therapeutic work across different settings. She brings six years of formal experience under the BACP credential, alongside many earlier years working with varied concerns. This gives her familiarity with issues from sleep disruption to complex grief.
In sessions Anna will listen first, then agree small, realistic steps to try between meetings. She explains therapeutic options in plain language and adapts pace to each person’s comfort. The emphasis is on making changes that fit everyday life.
People who choose Anna can expect straightforward conversation, breathing and body awareness exercises when helpful, and practical CBT-style tools for managing thoughts and routines. She encourages clients to feed back about what helps so the work stays relevant and personalised.
Approaches that guide online work and sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist creates a respectful space and follows the client’s pace, helping people find their own solutions and make sense of feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, sleep troubles and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises. It helps with sleep routines, worry cycles and coping strategies people can try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the body and breath through simple exercises that reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to match goals, needs and personal preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as people learn what helps them most.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Because the exact session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer shorter check-ins, guided breathing or exercises you can do at home, and discussion-based sessions that aim to slot into a busy routine rather than demand long journeys.
