Anna Wright, BACP

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. Her approach also covers issues such as self-esteem, relationships, addiction and concerns linked to identity and intimacy.

Anna draws on a background that mixes practical social work and academic study. She spent a decade as an adult social worker and completed a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work. Her counselling training includes Counselling Skills levels 2, 3 and 4, and she holds registration with the BACP.

In sessions she uses a person-centred style that places the client at the heart of the process. That means talking through what matters most to the person, helping them name problems and find practical steps forward. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas when they support the work.

People can expect a calm, down-to-earth manner and a focus on building confidence and clearer coping strategies. Anna aims to create a relationship where a client feels able to talk honestly about difficult feelings and decisions. The work often emphasises problem solving, smaller experiments between sessions and noticing gradual change.

Her experience includes supporting those affected by long-term illness, bereavement, workplace stress and feeling stuck in life. If readers want to know more, they are invited to message with any questions before booking.

How Anna’s approaches can work online

Anna uses person-centred counselling to keep the client’s experience central. This way of working focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says and helping them decide which issues to tackle. It is useful for people feeling stuck, low in confidence or unsure about next steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor the mix of person-centred listening and CBT techniques to suit the client. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. It also lets people pick quieter times, use shorter check-ins if needed, or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage.
