Anna Stillwell, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy puts the relationship first and focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor reflects back what you say, helps you notice your own feelings and supports you to make choices that feel right. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and the strain of life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what you want to change and on small practical steps. Sessions often identify exceptions to problems and build on existing strengths. It is useful when you want concrete goals for issues like stress, communication problems or career decisions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Anna will work with you to decide which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can shift over time if your priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when you want deeper connection. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or want to write rather than speak. These formats let you access support from different places and at different times, making it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
