About Anna
Anna Conway-Cowin uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of painful experiences. She is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience who listens without judgement. Anna aims to create a calm space where a person can talk through stresses and hard moments and feel heard.
She works with adults who are facing anxiety, depression, stress and addiction. Other areas she supports include trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating difficulties, self-esteem, career worries and coping with life changes.
How Anna works
She also has experience with personality disorders, phobias, self-harm and sexual assault and abuse. Anna uses a mixture of approaches to suit each person. Client-Centred Therapy guides how she listens and responds, while Trauma-Focused Therapy helps when past harm affects day-to-day life.
She also draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and Internal Family Systems to look at inner parts that influence feelings and behaviour. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clearer understanding. Conversations often explore how thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations connect.
The aim is to reduce overwhelm and build ways to cope that fit everyday life. People meet her by video, telephone, live chat or text messaging. She works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Anna's approaches work online
Anna uses Client-Centred Therapy to offer an accepting, listening space where a person sets the pace and focus; this helps with anxiety, stress and relationship worries by making it easier to name and work through what matters. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm continues to affect day-to-day life; online work can gently process painful memories while building safety and coping skills. Internal Family Systems helps people notice different internal parts or voices and learn kinder ways to relate to those parts, which can reduce self-criticism and impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Anna collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, symptoms and preferences. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as conversations unfold so things fit the individual's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone calls work well when a simpler check-in is needed, live chat fits brief reflections and text messaging can suit those who prefer ongoing written contact. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or travel while still focusing on practical change and emotional understanding.
