Anna Stillwell is a BACP counsellor who offers online therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes. She describes her work as collaborative and practical, helping clients find ways to feel more in control. Anna uses a human-centred approach that focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to be a space for honest conversation without judgement.

Background and approach

Anna believes clients are the experts in their own lives and supports them to find their own answers rather than handing down advice. She draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means she listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set short-term, achievable goals.

This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and stress management. Anna also works with concerns linked to career direction, intimacy-related issues, communication problems and life purpose. She has particular experience supporting women and young adults through transitional phases.

Practical coping skills and clearer priorities often form part of the work. Anna has three years of experience working online and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Client-centred and solution-focused work online

Client-Centred Therapy is built on listening and empathy. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs space to process feelings and rebuild self-trust.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, realistic steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often focus on what is already working and how to do more of it. This can be useful for stress, low mood and practical life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a way of working together. That collaborative conversation guides whether to emphasise listening, practical goal-setting, or a mix.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit quieter bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than talking.

These formats make it simpler to attend regularly and to try different ways of working until a good fit is found. Registered and accredited professionals provide this range of options to match different needs and rhythms of life.
