About Anna
BACP. 3 years of professional experience. Anna Reeves works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression and ADHD using an integrative, person-centred approach. She combines conversational counselling with practical strategies and aims to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges.
Anna has worked in an acute adult inpatient unit and in a CAMHS eating disorder inpatient service. She has also used play therapy while serving as a school counsellor in a primary school. These roles have involved short-term support and longer conversations to help people make sense of difficult experiences.
In sessions she works integratively with a mainly person-centred stance. The biography states training in CBT, systemic, Gestalt, psychodynamic and narrative therapies, and she draws on these methods to suit the work at hand. That can mean talking through thoughts and feelings, trying skills to manage anxiety and low mood, or examining patterns that keep problems going.
She lists autism and Asperger syndrome, attachment difficulties, dissociation, intellectual disability, panic and post-traumatic stress among other focus areas. Anna also notes workplace issues, social anxiety and family problems as areas she addresses with individuals.
Sessions are conducted in English and Anna is based in the United Kingdom. She does not accept international clients. The counselling model is collaborative, with the client’s perspective central to planning and next steps.
How Anna applies therapeutic approaches in remote counselling
Anna describes an integrative practice that centres on person-centred counselling. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and building on the person’s own strengths to help them make sense of problems such as anxiety, depression and family conflict.She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to address unhelpful thinking and practical coping skills. CBT techniques can help with managing panic, reducing avoidance and organising steps to relieve day-to-day symptoms.
Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are part of the toolkit too, offering ways to look at the stories people tell about themselves and patterns that may have developed after trauma or attachment difficulties. These approaches can help when someone wants to examine how past experiences affect current reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and can adjust the approach as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to offer practical access alongside in-person options.
