About Anna
Her approach is relaxed and client-centred. Conversation is central - she listens, reflects and helps people find what matters to them. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
Anna describes work that includes attention to the body as well as the mind. Somatic methods and mindfulness exercises are offered when they suit the person, and may be used alongside talking and thinking-based tools. This can help people notice how emotions show up physically and learn ways to regulate them.
She holds BACP as a credential and brings an accessible bedside manner to sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Anna accepts international clients who wish to work with her from other countries.

Online work and therapeutic approaches that focus on mind and body
Anna commonly uses client-centred work, which means sessions begin with listening and following what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the goals you set together.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT techniques are used to identify unhelpful patterns and to practise small, practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then agree on a plan together. That plan can combine listening, mindfulness practices and body-aware exercises so treatment fits your situation.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to have brief check-ins or to use mindfulness practice between meetings. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
