Anna Bridgland, BACP

Anna Bridgland supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns.

About Anna

Anna Bridgland supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, addictions, parenting pressures and struggles with self-esteem. Her work covers grief, anger, career doubts, and the difficulties of major life changes.

Anna is a BACP counsellor with seven years of professional experience. Anna takes a straightforward and respectful approach in sessions. She listens first and adapts conversations to each person's needs.

Clients can expect a calm presence, practical ideas and clear pacing rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

Her practice blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas. That means she focuses on the person in front of her while also looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Sessions may include reflective talk, experiments to try between meetings, and small skills to manage distress day to day.

Anna pays attention to difficult feelings like shame, guilt and isolation. She offers a space to talk through family tensions, issues around intimacy, and concerns related to identity and LGBT matters. She also supports people dealing with ADHD-related challenges alongside anxiety and focus problems.

People who choose Anna usually want practical ways to cope alongside being heard. She helps set realistic goals and reviews progress together. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make the process understandable and manageable.

Approaches in online therapy and how they help

Anna uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding your view and building a trusting relationship; it helps when you need a safe place to talk and to feel heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical techniques to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anna will discuss what you want to achieve and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. She works collaboratively so therapy can shift if something isn’t helping or if different tools are needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you talk face to face and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need support that fits around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
