Anna Stillwell, BACP

Anna Stillwell (she/her) is a qualified integrative therapist who provides online therapy by video and draws on humanistic principles to tailor support to each person. She believes that, given the right environment and therapeutic support, people have the capacity to work through life’s challenges and develop tools that improve emotional wellbeing. Anna creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficulties with honesty and curiosity, and she places strong emphasis on the quality of the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for positive change.

Working from an integrative, humanistic perspective, Anna blends theories and skills from multiple approaches to offer therapy that fits individual needs and goals. She treats clients as the experts of their own lives and focuses on empowering people to find their own answers rather than giving directive advice. Her practice aims to increase a sense of control and resilience when facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, relationship problems, and life transitions.

Anna holds a professional diploma and maintains professional indemnity and public liability insurance. She is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and follows its ethical guidance. Anna works online and has undertaken appropriate training to offer therapy via video, supporting clients who prefer remote sessions from the United Kingdom and beyond.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship and the client's own experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and acceptance. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen confidence when facing issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm.

Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-oriented method that emphasizes strengths and practical steps toward change. It supports clients in identifying realistic goals and small, manageable strategies to reduce stress, address relationship concerns, or make progress in career and life purpose work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and accessibility. With options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, clients can choose formats that fit their schedules, location, and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in sessions and to access licensed professionals and therapists from different places.
