About Anna
Anna Gardner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She offers a calm, listening presence and aims to help people feel heard even when they struggle to put things into words. Her approach is practical and people-focused, not full of jargon.
Anna draws on five years of clinical experience to adapt evidence-based therapeutic techniques to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and to how guilt, shame or past betrayals can shape current relationships. She also helps people who face long-term health challenges, caregiver stress, or problems with alcohol and drugs. Sessions look at communication difficulties, financial and life-purpose worries, and feelings of isolation.
Anna works with issues such as impulsivity, infidelity, and midlife crises in a steady, non-judgemental way. She aims to make complex feelings easier to understand and manage. Practical matters such as chronic pain, illness and disability are included alongside emotional concerns.
Anna also supports people processing grief and major life changes. Her goal is to help clients find clearer thinking and more reliable ways of coping day to day. Her professional affiliation is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
This informs her ethical practice and commitment to ongoing professional development.

Online support
Another approach centres on attachment and relationships. It looks at how past losses or abandonment can shape current relationships and communication, helping people rebuild trust with themselves and others. This work often includes practical steps for clearer boundaries and better conversation habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then decide together which techniques to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for paced support over time. These options make it easier to continue therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs.
