Anna Wright , BACP

Anna Wright is a qualified counsellor registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings a solid combination of academic training and clinical focus to her work. With three years of professional counselling experience, she draws on a background in psychology and social work to support people facing a wide range of challenges. She holds a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology, an MA in Social Work, and has completed counselling skills training at levels 2, 3 and 4, equipping her with both theoretical knowledge and practical techniques.

Anna works with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, coping with life changes, addictions, self-esteem concerns and trauma or abuse, among other issues. Her approach is primarily person-centered, emphasising the client as the expert on their own experience and fostering a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that supports exploration and growth. She also integrates cognitive behavioural strategies and attachment-based insights when these are helpful for addressing thoughts, patterns and relational dynamics.

Clients who engage with her work often focus on building resilience, improving self-esteem and developing more sustainable ways of coping. Anna aims to tailor interventions to each person’s goals and preferences, offering supportive, client-led therapy that seeks practical steps toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support them

Anna integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, helping clients address issues such as intimacy-related difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment-related anxiety. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a person-focused approach that prioritises the client’s perspective and encourages self-directed growth by offering empathy, acceptance and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Anna works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their goals, preferences and the challenges they bring. Together the therapist and client decide which strategies to try and adapt over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or other comfortable settings. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, multiple ways to communicate and consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists who can guide recovery and personal development.
