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 and other life changes. Anna also supports clients with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and work-related difficulties.

Anna draws on over 15 years of experience in roles that included ten years as an adult social worker alongside formal counselling training. She has a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work, and she completed counselling skills training up to level 4. These experiences inform her practical approach to problem solving.

Her main therapeutic stance is person-centred, which puts the client’s perspective at the centre of sessions. That means she prioritises listening, empathy and helping people identify their own solutions. She also brings in cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking when they help the work.

In sessions Anna aims to help people feel more confident and less stuck. She focuses on simple, clear steps for coping and small changes that build over time. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, with time spent on what matters most to the person in front of her.

How Anna’s approaches work in online therapy

Anna uses a person-centred stance alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely to the client and following their priorities, which helps people feel heard and decide what to tackle next. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at patterns of thought and behaviour and use practical steps to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based thinking helps spot how past relationships influence current trust and intimacy issues and supports different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues appear.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need different pacing; Anna will discuss what suits each person when arranging sessions.
