Anna Wright helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low or stuck. She supports those facing grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep or eating difficulties, and shifts in identity such as LGBT issues. Anna also works with career challenges, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and neurodiversity-related concerns such as ADHD and autism.
She is Anna Wright and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Anna draws on several practical approaches in sessions.
Background and approach
She uses client-centred listening so people can lead the focus of their work. She also brings in cognitive behavioural ideas to untangle unhelpful thinking and mindfulness to build calmer responses to stress. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck.
Before becoming a counsellor Anna spent many years in helping roles, including work as an adult social worker. Her background includes formal study in psychology and social work alongside counselling qualifications. That mix of hands-on experience and study informs how she plans sessions and sets realistic steps forward.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful. People can expect focused conversations, practical strategies and pacing that suits them. Anna pays attention to how attachment patterns and past experience affect current relationships and choices.
She offers one-to-one work that looks at immediate problems and longer term goals. The emphasis is on making small, manageable changes that add up to clearer thinking, steadier moods and improved confidence.
Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust, closeness and conflict. It can help when past hurts affect how someone connects now. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them make sense of their feelings and decide what matters next. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to change mood and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be guided together. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try practical techniques and adjust as needed. This collaborative way means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone needs less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone write when it suits them. These options make it easier to get regular support around busy lives or when travel is difficult.
