Anna Stillwell, BACP

Anna Stillwell is a counsellor who practises client-centred and solution-focused therapy. She works online and communicates in English. Anna is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and brings three years of experience to her practice.

Anna focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career questions and issues linked to family or young adulthood.

Her sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Anna listens first, then helps clients find practical steps to try. She avoids giving directive advice and instead helps people discover solutions that fit their life and goals.

Anna often uses short-term solution-focused techniques when someone wants quick, goal-led change. She also uses client-centred work to create a space where people can talk through feelings and be heard without judgement. Together these approaches are used to address communication problems, life purpose, self-love and women’s issues.

Therapy is offered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are part of a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and the cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Anna’s approaches work online

Anna uses client-centred therapy to create a listening space where people can speak without judgement. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s experience and helping them feel heard, which supports work on self-esteem, life purpose and emotional processing.

She also uses solution-focused therapy when someone wants practical and goal-directed change. That approach concentrates on identifying small, achievable steps and building on what already works, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, communication problems and short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Anna treats it as a collaboration. She will talk through your goals and preferences, then suggest which ways of working might suit you best. Over time the style can shift to match changing needs and progress.

Online therapy with Anna is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face to face when needed. Phone sessions are an option if bandwidth is limited or if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit people who want shorter check-ins or more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and daily life, and to keep going when circumstances change.
