Anna Zielinska, BACP

Anna Zielinska is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She communicates in English and Polish and works with clients online, including international clients. Anna emphasises a respectful, person-focused way of working where the client’s own experience guides the sessions.

In sessions, Anna follows a client-centred approach that puts the person’s perspective first. She listens without judgement and encourages people to talk through what matters most to them. The aim is to build understanding, self-awareness and a clearer sense of direction together.

Her practice also pays attention to related concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, codependency and commitment worries. Anna has experience addressing long-term conditions too, including chronic pain, cancer-related stress and caregiver strain. She is familiar with a wide range of emotional and interpersonal challenges that can affect day-to-day life.

Anna trained and holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is noted in her credentials as BACP. She has three years of professional experience working with clients in the UK and beyond.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. People typically start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How client-centred therapy can work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves open listening, reflecting back what the person says and helping them explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns because it helps people feel heard and make decisions that fit their life.

Working this way online means the counsellor follows the same respectful stance as in person. The therapist and client talk through what is most important, try different ways of approaching problems, and adjust the process together. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the counsellor will collaborate with the person to choose what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences.

Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful when non-verbal cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging makes it simple to fit therapy around a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make arranging regular sessions easier for many people.
