Anna Critsinelis, BACP

Anna Critsinelis brings more than 10 years of professional experience to her therapeutic practice, supporting people through stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivational difficulties, and broader life changes. She works with clients facing a range of mental health concerns and aims to help them rebuild resilience and regain a sense of direction.

Her approach is collaborative and client-focused, with an emphasis on creating a non-judgemental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions openly. Sessions are designed around each person’s needs, with practical strategies and reflective work to foster growth and clearer decision-making.

Anna has completed postgraduate study in psychodynamic approaches - advanced training that examines how past experiences and unconscious patterns can shape present behaviour and relationships. She is also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred therapy, and Solution-Focused therapy, offering a blend of methods tailored to the issues a client brings.

She is registered with professional bodies including the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). Anna seeks to provide steady guidance whether someone is navigating a specific problem or looking for greater clarity during a period of change.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and wellbeing

Anna integrates several evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and practical problem-solving. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, supporting self-exploration and personal insight. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values, which can help with stress, anxiety, and adjustment challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Anna works collaboratively with each person to explore what fits best given their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adapts methods as the work progresses. This helps ensure the process feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family commitments, or when travel is difficult, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists.
