Anna Wright

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers calm, practical support for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship worries. Anna also helps people dealing with changes in work or life, addiction concerns, neurodiversity-related matters and problems with sleep or eating.

Anna draws on over three years of focused counselling experience and a longer background in social care. She uses a person-centred style that puts the client’s concerns and priorities first. Sessions invite people to talk at their own pace and to make decisions based on what feels right for them.

Although her main approach is person-centred, Anna brings in other methods when they fit the situation. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thinking and practical mindfulness techniques to ease stress. Motivational interviewing and attachment-informed thinking are part of the mix when motivation or relationship patterns are important.

Clients can expect straightforward language and short-term practical aims where useful, as well as space for deeper reflection. Anna aims to build a trusting working relationship that helps people feel more confident and better able to cope.

Her background includes psychology and social work study alongside counselling training, which she says helps her understand how life events affect daily functioning. Anna invites questions before beginning so people can feel clear about the goals and process.

How Anna's approaches work online

Anna uses a person-centred style that focuses on what matters most to the client. This approach encourages people to talk through problems in their own words and to find solutions that suit their life. It is often helpful for uncertainty, low mood and feeling stuck.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. CBT offers simple exercises and practical ways to test out different thinking patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-informed ideas help highlight recurring relationship patterns and how past bonds affect present reactions, which can be useful for intimacy or communication struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that suit the person. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made collaboratively.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions save travel time, make it easier to fit appointments into a working day and let them attend from a quieter location at short notice. Others prefer starting with a brief check-in and building to longer sessions as trust grows.
