Anna Geraghty, NCPS

Anna Geraghty emphasises practical support for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She has three years of experience and works from a person-centred perspective to help people make sense of difficult moments. Anna uses straightforward language and a calm approach to make sessions feel manageable.

She focuses on bereavement and loss while also helping with anxiety and depression. She supports people facing life changes such as redundancy, divorce or retirement. Anna also pays attention to concerns around self-esteem, stress, anger and career issues.

Anna draws on a mix of methods to suit each person. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most to the individual. Cognitive behavioural techniques help break unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills. Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, achievable steps forward.

Her practice includes additional focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and hospice and end-of-life counselling. She aims to tailor sessions so they meet each person’s needs and pace. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and respectful of individual differences.

People who find practical, plain-speaking support helpful may feel comfortable working with Anna. She offers several online formats to fit different lives and routines. If someone wants change that fits their everyday life, she helps plan small steps that add up to real progress.

How Anna's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for people wanting a respectful space to talk through grief, life changes or personal struggles.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical steps to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress where people want concrete tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then agree a plan together. That makes it easier to try methods that fit the person's needs and to adjust them as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
