About Anna
Anna Doherty works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those struggling with sleep problems, low self-esteem, addictions and eating issues. She also helps with grief, trauma and a range of relationship and communication difficulties.
Anna uses a gentle, person-focused style. Conversations are led by the client and shaped to what matters most. She blends talking therapy with practical exercises so people leave each session with something they can try.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centred work, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural ideas and somatic methods that link body and mind. This mix lets her address thoughts, emotions and bodily responses together. Sessions often include breathing and grounding techniques alongside reflection and problem-solving.
Anna has six years of experience working in counselling and related practices, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with clients from the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients in English. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them. The subscription can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Anna will discuss options with each person and together they will decide what to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt methods as needs and goals change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let people use gestures and facial cues, while phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief reflections between sessions or when writing feels easier. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
