Anna Wright, BACP

Anna Wright is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Anna also works with those facing addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, and challenges linked to chronic illness and caregiving. She blends practical experience with counselling skills to help people move forward.

Anna previously spent a decade as an adult social worker and brings over 15 years of helping people through tough situations. She holds a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology and an MA in Social Work. Her counselling training includes Counselling Skills levels 2, 3 and 4 and she is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Her approach is person-centred, which means she focuses on the client’s own goals and timing. Sessions aim to give space for people to make sense of their difficulties, name feelings and try practical steps that feel manageable. She adapts other approaches, such as cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking, when these suit the person’s needs.

People meet Anna to work on everyday problems and deeper issues. Typical work includes building coping strategies, improving self-worth, addressing relationship patterns and finding ways to manage long-term health challenges. Anna emphasises collaborative problem solving and helping people recognise small changes that add up.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can offer

Anna uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client’s own goals and pace, helping people name feelings and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical strategies for mood, sleep and anxiety problems. Attachment-based ideas are drawn on to look at relationship patterns and how past experiences affect current connections.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about aims, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. This keeps therapy collaborative and focused on real-world steps the person can try between sessions.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can happen around work, caregiving and medical appointments. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep a steady routine while working on stress, coping with health challenges and other concerns.
