About Anna

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people facing grief, stress, anxiety and life changes, and with those coping with long-term illness, cancer, or caregiver strain.

She draws on person-centred practice to help people talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on the client’s experience and their goals. Anna uses plain language and encourages honest, straightforward conversation about what’s hard right now.

Her background includes social work and psychology alongside counselling training. That mix informs a practical approach to problem solving, relapse prevention and building day-to-day coping skills. Over time she has supported people to feel more confident and less stuck.

Anna uses other approaches when they help the work, including cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking. She aims to tailor methods to each person’s needs rather than follow a single route.

People who choose to work with her can expect calm listening, gentle challenge and collaborative planning. She invites questions and a short introductory conversation to see if the way she works fits the person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Anna uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience and goals at the centre of each session, helping people identify what matters and decide the next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used where helpful to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change day-to-day routines.

Finding the right approach is treated as a joint task. The therapist will work with the person to choose or combine methods based on their situation, aims and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. This means the plan can change as progress or new needs emerge.

Please confirm current online session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a session can be scheduled during a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when full sessions are not possible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices to suit remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused on everyday changes.
