About Anna

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, sleep difficulties and other life changes. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people feel more able to cope.

She brings years of frontline experience from adult social work alongside academic study in psychology and social work. That background shapes how she notices the day-to-day pressures that make problems feel overwhelming. She uses plain language and collaborative discussion rather than jargon.

Anna practises person-centred counselling, which means she puts the client's perspective at the heart of the work. This approach helps people identify what matters to them and build on their own resources to move forward. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment thinking when these fit a person's goals.

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Anna will listen to what is happening now, help clarify patterns, and try out small changes that can make daily life easier. She aims to support improvements in confidence, self-esteem and sleep by working at a pace the client finds manageable.

People often seek her help for issues such as addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, chronic illness and bereavement. She invites questions and a brief conversation before starting, so people can see if her way of working feels right for them.

How Anna uses therapy methods online

Anna works from a person-centred base, which means sessions start with the client's concerns and priorities. This approach helps people clarify what they want to change and identify steps that feel doable. Attachment-based ideas add focus on how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy, trust and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive behavioural methods are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments. These techniques often suit people struggling with anxiety, sleep problems, or low mood because they give simple tools to test and revise day-to-day thinking and routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree together what to try first. That might mean sticking with a person-centred focus, introducing CBT exercises, or exploring attachment patterns over time in a flexible way.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when that suits their needs, so therapy can be shaped around everyday commitments.
