Anna Wright, BACP

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and difficulties with relationships or intimacy. She also helps those facing life changes, sleep and eating problems, parenting strains, career stress and compassion fatigue.

Anna draws on several ways of working to suit different needs. She mainly uses a client-centred approach, which focuses on the person and their own goals. She also integrates cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking where these help make sense of patterns and guide practical steps.

Her background includes long experience in social care and many years supporting people through tough circumstances. That time in practical roles has informed how she listens, asks questions and helps people think about next steps. Anna’s training and study also contribute to how she plans sessions and sets realistic aims.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Conversations tend to focus on what is troubling you now, how it links to past patterns, and what small changes might help. Techniques may include noticing thoughts and behaviours, practising present-moment awareness, and setting short-term goals.

If you want to begin, you are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. This will guide scheduling and help match your needs with the therapist’s approach.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-based thinking focuses on the patterns we form in close relationships. It helps people understand why they react a certain way and can be useful for relationship concerns, abandonment anxieties and attachment issues.

Client-centred work places the person’s experiences and goals at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers and pace for change.

Cognitive behavioural ideas look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Small practical changes and experiments can reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep or eating habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as you go.

Please confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online or remote work helpful for fitting therapy into busy lives, keeping sessions shorter when needed, avoiding travel and allowing check-ins during a break from work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods such as mindfulness exercises, thought records and brief behavioural tasks for use in remote sessions.
