Anna Wright, BACP

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with life changes, career concerns, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions centre on what matters to the individual and on small, practical steps that can make daily life easier. She uses familiar methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas.

Anna trained through counselling skills courses and holds academic qualifications in psychology and social work. Her background includes practical roles that involved helping people through difficult circumstances, which she draws on when planning sessions.

In therapy she aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. She encourages people to identify what they want to change and to try manageable strategies between sessions. The emphasis is on real-world coping rather than lengthy theory.

Sessions are offered in English and run online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Anna's approaches work online

Anna uses client-centred work to keep sessions focused on the person and their goals. This approach means the individual sets the pace and topics, while the counsellor listens and reflects to help them make sense of things. It is useful for people wanting a supportive space to talk things through.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviours and feelings interact. CBT offers concrete techniques for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to build simple attention and breathing practices that reduce habitual reactivity and help with stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that suit those aims. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what the person wants to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging lets a person write when it suits them. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or other commitments.
