Anna Reeves, BACP

Anna Reeves uses an integrative, person-centred approach to help people manage difficult feelings and life events. She frames the work around each person's strengths and experience, and supports clients who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. Anna emphasises practical steps alongside listening and reflection.

She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. That experience includes work on an acute adult inpatient unit and in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service eating disorder inpatient team. She has also worked as a school counsellor using play therapy in a primary school setting.

In sessions she draws on a mix of methods to suit the person in front of her. Anna trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, systemic, Gestalt, psychodynamic and narrative approaches and works integratively with a mainly person-centred focus. This means she balances direct techniques with time to reflect on personal history and relationships.

Anna supports people with a range of concerns, including family problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, attachment issues and dissociation. She also helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace issues and difficulties linked to autism and intellectual disability.

Her way of working is collaborative. She helps people identify goals, try small changes, and review what works. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes, and on tailoring the approach to each person's needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Anna blends person-centred work with evidence-based techniques to make sessions practical and responsive. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety or panic. Narrative and psychodynamic elements look at life stories and patterns to help people understand repeated difficulties and shift how they relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will choose methods that fit the person's needs, adjusting the mix as progress is reviewed so the plan stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session options the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats ensures sessions fit around school, work or other demands. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while face-to-face options may be arranged where available and appropriate.
