About Anna

Anna Wright is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She works with those feeling low, stuck, or facing big life changes. Anna also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, self-esteem and work-related difficulties.

She trained and practised in social care for many years before moving into counselling. Her background includes a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work, alongside counselling skills training at levels 2, 3 and 4.

Background and approach

Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Anna's style is person-centred. She focuses on what matters to each individual and helps them identify their own goals.

Sessions aim to be calm, practical and respectful so people can talk through difficult feelings and make changes at their own pace. When suited, she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.

Mindfulness strategies and short solution-focused steps are also used to build coping skills and small wins. In sessions Anna works collaboratively and aims to increase confidence and emotional resilience. She encourages clear, realistic steps between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.

People looking for a steady, practical counsellor who listens and helps plan next steps may find her approach helpful.

Ways of working Anna names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Anna uses approaches online

Anna commonly works using client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's concerns and priorities, giving space to talk and find solutions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships affect current reactions and connections. These approaches are used in collaboration with each person - Anna will discuss options and together they will decide what fits the person's goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can help people reflect between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
