Anna Conway-Cowin, BACP

Anna Conway-Cowin uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of the process. She is a BACP counsellor who aims to listen closely and offer steady support while someone talks through difficult experiences. Anna keeps language simple and practical so people can understand what to expect from sessions.

Anna works with stress, anxiety, addiction and depression, and she helps people dealing with trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, low self esteem and career or life changes. Additional focus areas include personality disorders, phobias, self-harm and sexual assault and abuse.

Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with elements from Jungian ideas and Trauma-Focused Therapy to suit different needs. She draws on Internal Family Systems to help people map parts of themselves when that’s useful. Sessions aim to build understanding of patterns and to find practical ways to move forward.

Anna has three years’ experience in counselling and works with people from varied backgrounds across the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. She uses straightforward language and a calm manner to help people feel heard and to focus on realistic next steps.

Practical matters are discussed openly in the first meetings, including which approaches might suit a person best and what session format fits their life. The emphasis is on steady, collaborative work to support change over time.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. It helps people talk through their concerns and work out their own solutions at their own pace.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of traumatic events and uses techniques to reduce distress linked to those memories. It can be useful for people dealing with abuse, assault or other traumatic experiences.

Internal Family Systems offers a way to understand different parts of oneself and how they relate. This approach can help with patterns like self-criticism, anger or addictive behaviour by giving a clearer map of internal conflicts.

Finding the right approach is often a joint process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods together so the work feels useful. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what each person wants to change.

Online therapy brings practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people see visual cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when a quieter or lower-bandwidth contact is needed. Text-based messaging and live chat offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to reflect between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to increase accessibility and fit therapy into daily routines.
