Anna Wright, BACP

Anna Wright is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She brings a broad combination of practical experience and academic study to her work, having supported people facing adversity for over 15 years, including ten years working as an adult social worker.

Her academic background includes a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work, alongside targeted counselling training through Counselling Skills levels 2, 3 and 4. This mix of hands-on practice and formal study informs her understanding of how stress, loss, trauma and other challenges affect daily life and relationships.

Anna has worked with people dealing with cancer, work and life stress, anxiety, grief and a general sense of feeling low or stuck. She aims to help clients develop problem solving, resilience and personal growth, and reports positive outcomes such as increased confidence and improved self-esteem in the people she has supported.

Trained primarily in person-centered counselling - an approach that emphasises the client at the heart of the therapeutic process - Anna works to create a supportive, empowering relationship in which clients can explore difficulties and identify their own solutions. She also draws on other approaches when appropriate, including cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas, to tailor the work to each person’s needs. Anna welcomes questions from those considering therapy and is available to discuss how she might help.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Anna integrates person-centered, attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches in her online work, tailoring methods to fit each person’s situation. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s own capacity to understand and solve problems, offering a respectful, non-directive space to explore feelings and goals. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people address issues around trust, closeness and separation that affect relationships today. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques as the work progresses so the plan reflects their needs and pace.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or health demands. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy, access support from home, and choose the format that best supports each person’s comfort and lifestyle. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide regular, focused care without requiring travel.
