Anna Wright, BACP

Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on a mix of practical and academic experience to help people facing anxiety, stress, depression, loss and life changes. Anna aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on the concerns you bring. She presents herself as calm and down-to-earth in her approach.

Her background includes social work alongside university study in psychology and social work. She has completed a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work, plus counselling skills training at levels 2, 3 and 4. That combination informs how she understands practical problems and emotional responses.

Anna uses a person-centred way of working which puts the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment theory when these help to address patterns of thinking or relationship issues. Sessions are aimed at helping people spot what gets in the way and try different ways of coping.

People come to Anna for a wide range of concerns such as grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress, ADHD and ageing and geriatric issues. She also supports issues around intimacy, relationships and career choices. Her experience includes supporting people affected by cancer and chronic illness.

Her style is collaborative and practical. She works to build a working relationship where clients feel able to talk things through and try new approaches. Prospective clients are invited to message with questions before starting.

How Anna's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises relationships and how early bonds shape current ways of connecting. In online sessions this can help people understand patterns in close relationships and practice different responses. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience and priorities, giving space to explore what feels most important and to set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then choose or combine approaches that suit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work between appointments by sharing exercises and reflecting on progress in everyday settings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these advantages to help clients maintain consistency and build skills over time.
