Agnieszka 'Anna' Chmura, BACP

Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour, then tries small experiments to test new ways of coping. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Another approach centres on building on existing strengths and solving current problems step by step. It aims to break big challenges into manageable tasks and supports people in trying things between sessions, which can help with career stress, parenting strain and day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose or adapt methods that feel like a good fit. This collaborative process helps shape realistic goals and practical next steps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, brief contact between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
