About Anna
Anna Graham is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of counselling experience. She has worked in mental health and social care for over a decade and supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and a range of relationship and family concerns.
She offers straightforward, person-focused work. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most and what the person hopes to gain. Some people come to talk things through; others prefer practical coping skills. Anna and the client agree a plan together based on those preferences.
Her practice includes trauma-focused approaches and EMDR for people who have experienced distressing events. She also draws on client-centred ways of working and mindfulness-based techniques when helpful. These methods are used to reduce distress, manage symptoms and build daily coping routines.
Anna pays attention to problems that commonly affect parents and adults managing close relationships, including intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, family problems and separation. She also works with eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and the emotional impact of illness or chronic pain.
People meet her for short-term work or longer-term support. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with options to practise exercises between meetings. She works in English and does not take international clients at present. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Anna uses client-centred work and trauma-focused methods as part of online sessions. Client-centred work means the conversation focuses on what the person brings and what they want to change; it suits people wanting to talk through stress, relationships or parenting strain. Trauma-focused therapy and EMDR aim to reduce the hold of distressing memories and are used for people coping with traumatic events and persistent trauma symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This may mean starting with talking and mindfulness techniques, then adding trauma-focused work if needed, or mixing approaches across sessions.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it simpler to schedule around work and childcare. It also lets people practise mindfulness and grounding exercises at home and bring the results back into sessions for discussion.
