Anna Reeves, BACP

Anna Reeves works integratively with a person-centred focus to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and ADHD. She introduces practical steps and steady support so people feel heard and can start making changes. Anna's approach aims to build on existing strengths rather than overwrite them.

She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work on an acute adult inpatient unit and within a child and adolescent mental health eating disorder inpatient service. She has also worked as a school counsellor using play-based tools in a primary school setting.

Anna uses a mix of therapeutic ideas tailored to each person. Sessions usually focus on understanding what is difficult now, learning simple coping skills, and finding ways to reduce daily strain. She encourages people to take small, manageable steps between sessions.

She also supports people facing family problems, attachment questions, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Additional areas she works with include social anxiety, panic attacks, workplace stress, intellectual disability considerations, autism and Asperger syndrome, and concentration or memory concerns.

Her style is warm and respectful. Anna aims to help people feel seen and understood while working together on realistic goals. For someone feeling overwhelmed or stuck, she offers steady, practical guidance.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Anna draws on evidence-based techniques alongside a person-centred way of working. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practising small changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood. These approaches are practical and often include homework or simple exercises to try between sessions.

She also uses narrative and systemic ideas to help people make sense of family roles, recurring patterns and how their story has been shaped. Talking through these themes can help reduce shame and create new ways of relating to others. Gestalt-influenced techniques can bring attention to present-moment experience and bodily signals, useful for stress, panic and dissociation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback so methods can be tailored to what feels most helpful.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit short breaks during the day. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step tasks, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
