She works with a broad set of issues and adapts the approach to what each person needs.
People interested in starting can expect collaborative planning in the first sessions. Anna highlights problem solving, building confidence and small behaviour changes as common ways to move forward.

How Anna’s approaches work online
Anna uses person-centred practice to keep the client’s goals central. This approach focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions, which works well for issues like low mood, confidence and life transitions.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and unhelpful habits by building small, practical changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process allows her to blend person-centred listening with CBT techniques or attachment ideas when these suit the situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still getting regular support from a registered professional.
