About Anna

Anna Gardner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She listens carefully and pays attention to what is said and what is left unsaid. Her approach aims to make clients feel heard and respected as they work through difficult feelings.

She draws on five years of experience to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques matched to the issues a person brings.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and practical, with time for reflection and emotional processing. Sessions may focus on attachment and abandonment worries, struggles with caregiving and chronic illness, or the fallout from infidelity and addiction. She also helps with loneliness, guilt and shame, life purpose questions, and financial stress that affects wellbeing.

Anna holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. That is the credential listed in her profile and it informs how she works with professional standards. People who start here choose a pace that suits them.

Anna supports people in exploring feelings, building clearer communication, and trying new ways of coping. The work aims to reduce overwhelm and help clients move toward clearer choices.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Anna uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is trauma-informed work, which focuses on helping people make sense of painful experiences, manage strong emotions, and reduce their daily impact. Another approach is skills-based therapy that teaches practical tools for coping with anxiety, improving communication, and managing intense moods.

Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and personal preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy here offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat suit shorter updates or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, home, or caregiving schedules while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
