About Anna
Anna Graham is a counsellor with six years of clinical experience and a background in mental health and social care. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and she has particular experience with trauma and abuse. Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings a straightforward, practical approach to sessions.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Some clients come to talk things through and gain emotional relief. Others prefer to learn specific techniques to manage symptoms and cope day to day. Anna tailors each plan to the person in front of her, taking account of their hopes and expectations.
Her work includes addressing sleep and eating concerns, body image and issues around intimacy and relationship pain. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, bereavement, isolation and life changes such as separation or bereavement. Anna pays attention to how past events and trauma can affect current life and relationships.
When trauma is a factor she may use trauma-focused approaches alongside mindfulness and client-centred ways of working. She aims to help people build resilience and practical coping skills at a pace that suits them. Sessions are conversational, with space for reflection and for learning tools that can be practised between meetings.
Anna works in the United Kingdom and carries her BACP credential through all aspects of her practice. She offers sessions in English and will work collaboratively with each person to find a path forward that fits their life and needs.
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, giving them space to set goals and lead the pace of work. It is useful for stress, low mood and many everyday concerns because the counsellor follows the person's priorities. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their intensity; it is often used where past events continue to affect present life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and try options collaboratively. That allows the person to shape the pace and type of techniques used, adjusting as progress is made and needs change.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and avoid travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or conversations that focus on talking and breathing exercises without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt trauma-focused and mindfulness methods to remote settings, and this counsellor will discuss how to make sessions work around day-to-day life.
