About Anna

Anna Clifton is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and life transitions. Anna aims to make first steps feel less daunting and to support people through change with respect and compassion.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. Anna draws on five years of clinical experience to shape conversations and practical next steps.

Background and approach

Sessions are adjusted to each person's circumstances rather than following a fixed script. In therapy she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Together with the client she sets short-term goals and tries out small changes between sessions.

This can include building coping strategies for anxiety, planning steps through grief, or working on communication in relationships. Anna says the therapeutic relationship matters most. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can talk openly.

Her style is calm and straightforward, focused on what will help day to day. People choosing to work with Anna usually want practical ways to feel better and clearer about their next steps. She supports clients who are dealing with addiction, parenting strain, career uncertainty, self-esteem difficulties, and issues related to ageing and attachment.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Anna lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical tools and understanding personal patterns. One approach helps people recognise unhelpful thoughts and test more balanced ways of thinking; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach centres on building coping skills and small behavioural changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; this can help with addiction, grief and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is assessed and new issues arise, so plans are reviewed together during sessions.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people who prefer written exchanges or who need to fit therapy around work and caregiving. These options make it easier to keep continuity and make steady progress from different locations.
