Anna Zielinska , BACP

Anna Zielinska is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Polish and uses a person-focused approach to help clients find practical ways forward.

Anna believes people know their story best and brings a calm, respectful stance to sessions. She asks curious questions and listens for what matters most. She helps people notice their strengths and experiment with different ways of responding to difficult feelings.

In sessions Anna uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting space where clients can explore worries at their own pace. She focuses on clear, simple steps that fit into everyday life rather than long theoretical explanations. Practical ideas may include new ways to communicate, setting small goals, or trying different coping strategies.

She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs how she works, while she tailors each conversation to the person in front of her.

People often come to Anna for support with communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries, body image and sexual identity concerns including kink and BDSM culture, as well as chronic illness or caregiving strain. She also supports those facing issues linked to ageing, cancer, autism and personality challenges.

Therapy with Anna is collaborative and paced to the client. Sessions aim to make change feel manageable, useful and relevant to daily life.

How Client-Centred Therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. In practice the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and encourages clients to find their own solutions. This approach can help with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship worries and recovery from trauma.

The central idea is collaboration. The therapist will explore different ways of working and check in about what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and change the plan as needs and goals evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation helps progress. Phone sessions can be more convenient and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and to continue care across locations.
