Anna Graham, BACP

Anna Graham is a counsellor who offers practical, person-focused support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and many other life challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem and body image issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiving pressures, and the aftermath of abuse or traumatic events. Anna treats each person as an individual and tailors her approach to match the needs, hopes and expectations that a client brings to therapy.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space in which to explore their experiences; Anna combines empathic listening with practical techniques so that talking through difficulties sits comfortably alongside learning coping strategies when needed. Her practice includes trauma-focused work and specialist approaches designed to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact, as well as mindfulness-informed tools to build resilience and present-moment coping.

Anna holds the BACP credential, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people who want a collaborative, tailored plan to manage life stressors, to heal from painful events, or to build greater emotional balance and confidence.

Online approaches for trauma, stress and emotional healing

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting environment where the client leads the conversation and identifies goals. This approach helps people gain clarity, build self-awareness, and develop their own solutions to problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps the brain process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It is often used when past events continue to affect day-to-day functioning and emotional well-being.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding the impact of traumatic experiences and developing targeted strategies to reduce their ongoing effects. It can include practical coping skills, pacing of exposure, and techniques to strengthen emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Anna works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home, work or elsewhere. These options let clients choose the format that best suits their schedule, comfort level and communication style while maintaining consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists.
