About Anna
BACP. 6 years' counselling experience. Anna Graham works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger and coping with life changes. Anna uses client-centred ways of working alongside trauma-focused methods and mindfulness approaches.
Anna presents herself as a counsellor who adapts the session to what the person needs. She starts by listening and discussing what someone hopes to get from counselling. Sessions may focus on talking through upsetting experiences or learning practical coping strategies, depending on the person's goals.
She has a particular focus on trauma work and uses methods aimed at helping people process distressing events. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage anxiety, stress and sleep problems. The client-centred element means decisions about direction and pace are made together.
Anna also lists several additional concerns she supports, including body image, chronic illness or pain, divorce and separation, domestic violence, first responder issues and feelings like guilt, shame or isolation. These are areas she has addressed across six years of counselling practice.
Sessions are offered in English and based in the United Kingdom. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
Approaches used in online counselling and what they do
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working at the person’s pace. The counsellor prioritises the person’s own goals and decisions about what to work on, which can help with stress, low mood and relationship concerns.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used in trauma-focused work to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. It is often used when trauma or abuse are central to someone’s difficulties.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the counselling process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. Decisions about pace and techniques are collaborative and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of having counselling online include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. The exact session formats offered should be confirmed before booking; check the current options when you use the See online counselling options button.
