About Anna
Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also helps with addictions, relationship and intimacy worries, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, career stress and neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and ADHD.
Her background combines many years of practical social care work and formal study in psychology and social work. Anna draws on person-centred ideas that focus on the individual’s experience. She uses straightforward conversations to help people understand what is getting in the way and to find practical steps forward.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. Anna may draw on cognitive behavioural techniques when thinking patterns are unhelpful, and on attachment-based ideas when relationships and early experiences are relevant. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing approaches also inform her work when they suit the person’s goals.
She writes plainly and keeps goals realistic. Many clients work on coping strategies, problem solving and building confidence. Some focus on managing mood swings, grief or trauma-related reactions, while others address day-to-day habits like sleep or eating patterns.
If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions through the Start Therapy process. Anna works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English.

How Anna’s approaches translate to online work
Anna uses person-centred practice alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening well and helping people make sense of their own experience, which can help with low mood, stress and feeling stuck. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and everyday habits and provide tools to change unhelpful patterns like rumination or disrupted sleep. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship history or early caregiving affects current reactions and intimacy challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they pick or combine approaches in a way that fits the issue and the person’s rhythm of life.
Confirm the session formats with the therapist before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and offer options for people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals use these flexible arrangements to help clients practise new thinking and everyday habits between sessions.
