Anna Wright, BACP
Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
About Anna
Anna Wright is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and life changes. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to help clients feel understood and able to take small steps forward.
Anna draws on three years of counselling experience alongside a background in social work and psychology. She uses person-centred ideas to help people name what matters to them and to find practical ways to cope.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on the client’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Where helpful, Anna brings in other methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed thinking. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practising simple coping skills, or talking about how past relationships affect present feelings.
She matches the approach to the person in front of her rather than forcing one method. People contact Anna about a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, addiction, trauma, sleep and eating difficulties, career worries, parenting strain and relationship problems.
She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue, and supports LGBT clients and those facing illness or caregiving stress. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, chat or text messaging. Anna asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire so she can understand needs and suggest a way forward.
The aim is steady, manageable change and a clearer sense of direction.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. CBT techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and building coping routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps to tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when thoughts are easier to write down. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments or mobility needs, and help maintain continuity of support over time.
