About Anna
Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on her background to help people who are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by life changes, or struggling with parenting and relationships. She previously worked as an adult social worker for a decade and has over three years in counselling practice.
Her wider studies include a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Science in Forensic Psychology and a Master of Arts in Social Work.
Background and approach
Anna also completed counselling skills training at levels 2, 3 and 4. In sessions she uses a person-centred style. That means she focuses on the person in front of her and supports them to find their own answers.
She combines this with practical ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and attention to attachment patterns when those fit the issue. Typical work may look like talking through stress, grief, sleep or eating struggles, or exploring addictions and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing career strain, burnout and compassion fatigue, and helps with self-esteem and confidence building.
Anna aims to build a calm, respectful space where people feel able to speak honestly. Her approach is collaborative and practical - clients and counsellor decide together what to try and what to review next.

How Anna’s approaches translate to online therapy
Anna uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed thinking. Person-centred therapy emphasises the client's perspective and aims to help people identify their own solutions and goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, low mood or sleep and eating problems. Attachment-informed work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust and communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative planning means the work can shift as needs change and as you see what helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations when face-to-face contact matters. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access therapy around work, family and daily life.
