Anna Graham is a counsellor with six years of practice and a background in mental health and social care. She works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. Anna aims for straightforward, practical sessions that make sense to busy parents and carers.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what is worrying them.

Background and approach

Sessions can be gentle listening or more focused work, depending on what the person needs. Anna emphasises tailoring the work to each individual and setting clear, manageable goals together. Her approach includes client-centred therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people feel more present and less overwhelmed.

For people affected by traumatic events she also uses trauma-focused work and EMDR to reduce distress and intrusive memories. She explains methods clearly and checks in regularly about how they feel for the client. Anna helps with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and coping with life changes.

She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, first responder pressures and isolation or loneliness. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, working at a pace that suits the person seeking support.

How Anna’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy is about focusing on the person's experience and preferences. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people set practical goals, making it useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when past events still cause strong distress. It involves guided processing that can reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and associated reactions, often helping people feel less triggered by reminders.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and to improve sleep and emotional balance. It can be used alongside other approaches to help with anxiety and coping during difficult times.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together the person and therapist decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let conversation feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter reflections or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to keep continuity between sessions.
