About Anna

Anna Stillwell is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She offers online therapy to adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing life changes, career questions and issues around self-esteem and family dynamics.

Anna describes her work as rooted in the therapeutic relationship. She aims to build a genuine connection so people can talk through what matters to them. She listens without giving directives and helps clients find their own answers rather than handing out advice.

Her practice draws on client-centred principles, where the person's experience is the starting point for sessions. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help people identify practical steps and small changes that move them forward. Together these approaches are used to address communication problems, life purpose, self-love and women's issues among other concerns.

Sessions are offered online by video. Anna says she has supported people with anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship strain, helping them develop tools to manage day-to-day feelings. She frames therapy as collaborative work, with attention to practical coping and clearer thinking about next steps.

Those interested in working with Anna are asked to use the service's matching process to book a first session. International clients may be accommodated and sessions are held in English. The cost structure varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist focuses on listening, reflecting and helping the client make sense of their feelings. This approach is often useful for people who want to be heard and to work through emotional issues such as low self-esteem or relationship strain.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what changes would look like in everyday life. It aims to identify resources and actions that can be tried between sessions, which can suit people looking for concrete coping tools or short-term progress.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which approach or combination to try. Clients are invited to feedback how each way of working feels so the plan can be adjusted together.

Sessions are provided online by video according to the therapist's practice. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions that slot into everyday routines. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and adapt the pace and focus to what the client needs.
