About Anna

Anna Graham is a counsellor with a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential and six years of clinical experience. She has worked in mental health and social care settings and supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship concerns. Anna aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what is troubling them.

She treats each person as an individual and makes plans around what will work for that person. Sometimes talking through feelings is enough to bring relief. Other times she introduces practical techniques and coping strategies to manage day-to-day challenges like sleep problems, anger or low self-esteem.

Anna has a particular focus on trauma-related work and uses approaches intended to help people process difficult memories and move forward. She also offers support for issues such as body image, problems related to chronic illness or cancer, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce.

Her style is collaborative and down to earth. She listens first, then helps you decide what kind of work feels right. The goal is to build stronger ways of coping so daily life becomes easier to manage.

How Anna's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It aims to create a respectful space where the client leads the pace and topics, and the counsellor reflects and helps clarify thoughts and feelings.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help people process distressing memories. It involves structured phases that guide you to recall memories while using clinician-led techniques to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. This can help reduce rumination, ease anxiety and support sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether talking, mindfulness practices, EMDR, trauma-focused techniques or a mix feels most helpful for your goals. You will be invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as needed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to get short check-ins during a work break or to continue regular meetings when life is unpredictable. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
