About Anna
Anna Gilmore is a counsellor with ten years' experience working across charities, schools and specialist services. She is a BACP counsellor and has an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience from King's College London. Anna welcomes people dealing with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns.
Her background includes long-term voluntary work and roles with mental health organisations. She spent eight years on a committee for Women’s Aid, two years at the charity Mind, and four years volunteering at Rape Crisis.
Background and approach
Anna has also counselled in a secondary school and provides therapy for Sporting Chance and Woman's Trust. In sessions she takes a person-centred approach. That means she pays attention to each person's experience and follows their pace.
She aims to help people make sense of distressing events, manage mood changes, and build clearer self-understanding. Anna draws on training in a range of areas, including eating disorders, autism awareness, domestic abuse and safeguarding. She has worked with issues such as self-harm, substance misuse, bereavement, insomnia and anger.
This variety has shaped a practical way of working that focuses on what the client wants to change. People who meet Anna can expect calm, respectful listening and focused support. Sessions are delivered in English and can be arranged online in formats that suit different needs.
She uses her experience to help people find workable steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

Online support
Her background working with bereavement, eating difficulties, trauma and mood disorders informs how she shapes online work. Anna adapts the same respectful, person-focused stance to different formats and checks in with the client about what feels most comfortable. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit around busy days or offer a lower-key way to keep in touch. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions while balancing work, study and family commitments.
