Anna Wright , BACP

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on a mix of practical experience and formal study to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss, low mood or life changes. Her manner is straightforward and people-focused, with an emphasis on listening and building confidence.

Anna spent many years in social work roles before moving into counselling practice. That background informs how she notices practical pressures and the impact of adversity on daily life. She uses that insight to help people spot small, manageable steps forward when things feel stuck.

Her main approach is client-centred work, which puts the person's perspective at the heart of sessions. She also brings in cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-focused thinking when they fit the issues being discussed. These methods are used to help with mood, anxiety, relationships and coping after loss.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. Anna listens, reflects and helps people try out different ways of responding to problems. Practical tools and simple experiments between sessions are often part of the work to build confidence and reduce unhelpful patterns.

She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and neurodiversity-related topics. People who contact her are usually looking for clear, calm guidance and time to make sense of what is happening in their lives.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Anna practises in the United Kingdom and offers online formats to fit different needs.

How Anna uses therapy approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations. Online work with this approach looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand their responses to closeness and trust. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can suit those facing low mood, self-esteem issues or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice links between thoughts, feelings and actions and then try small behavioural experiments to shift those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping habits.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Anna will discuss options, explain why a method might help, and adapt methods to each person's goals and preferences. The aim is to find what fits rather than to insist on a single route forward.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging can support reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, and let people try different ways of connecting until they find what works best.
