About Anna
Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years listed experience as a practising counsellor and a longer background in social care and psychology. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, parenting pressures, relationship and family concerns, trauma and addiction-related issues.
Her approach is rooted in person-centred practice. She focuses on what matters to the individual and helps them identify problems and possible solutions. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the person’s needs. Anna draws on other methods when helpful, such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment ideas.
Before training as a counsellor she worked in adult social work and completed degrees in psychology, forensic psychology and social work. That mix of practical and academic experience informs how she looks at life stresses and coping strategies. She says this background helps her understand the practical pressures people bring into sessions.
People who come because they feel stuck or overwhelmed can expect a mix of listening, reflective feedback and concrete tools. That might include ways to manage anxious thoughts, improve communication, or find small changes that ease parenting strain. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change.
She offers support for a wide range of concerns linked to relationships, identity and wellbeing. If a reader is unsure whether to try counselling, Anna invites them to make contact and ask brief questions before booking a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when communication, closeness or trust feel difficult in adult relationships and family roles.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The counsellor listens, reflects and supports someone to make sense of their situation and try different ways of coping.
Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Practical tools from CBT can help manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and suggest starting points. This is a collaborative process that can change as the person’s needs become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into a busy day easier, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or removing the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods used in person to suit remote appointments and everyday life constraints.
