Anna Wright , BACP

Anna Wright is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She combines formal academic study - including a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work - with targeted counselling training at levels 2, 3 and 4 to inform a thoughtful and practical approach to therapy.

Her background includes work as an adult social worker and supporting people through a wide range of challenges such as cancer, life and work stress, anxiety, loss, low mood and feelings of being stuck. That blend of practical experience and academic learning gives her insight into how adversity affects daily life and how change and resilience can emerge over time.

Anna practises from a person-centred perspective, emphasising the client’s role in identifying problems, exploring them deeply and finding personalised solutions. She aims to build a respectful and empowering therapeutic relationship so clients feel able to examine difficult issues. Where helpful, she integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment theory to support problem solving, raise self-esteem and promote more content ways of being.

Those interested in working with Anna are invited to make contact with any questions about her practice and approach.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Anna draws on client-centred work to create a supportive online space where the person’s own goals and insights guide the process. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and empowering the individual to explore challenges and identify meaningful solutions, useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and interpersonal concerns.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current connection and trust. This can help people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment worries or attachment-related difficulties to understand and shift relational patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is employed when clients want practical strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be effective for anxiety, mood-related difficulties and developing coping skills for everyday stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Anna works with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family or other commitments. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and respond to changing circumstances while offering accessible pathways to ongoing therapeutic work.
