Anna Gilmore

Anna Gilmore is a counsellor with ten years' experience. She uses a person-centred approach and works with people facing a wide range of difficulties. She sees issues such as anxiety, depression, anger and problems with sleep. She also supports people dealing with trauma, eating concerns and relationship difficulties.

Her background includes committee work with Women’s Aid and roles at mental health charity Mind. She spent time counselling pupils aged 11 to 18 in a secondary school and volunteered at Rape Crisis. That mix of charity, school and voluntary work shaped her practical outlook.

Anna also works with Sporting Chance, supporting elite athletes across several sports. She spends two days a week at Woman’s Trust, a London specialist charity working with women who have experienced domestic abuse. These roles inform how she talks about safety, boundaries and recovery in sessions.

Her qualifications include a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice and an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience from King’s College London. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework.

In practice she focuses on helping people increase self-awareness and make manageable changes. Sessions tend to be straightforward conversations where the client sets the pace. Anna aims to listen without judgement and to help people find practical ways to cope with stress, anger and life changes.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor provides an accepting space and follows the person’s lead, which can help with issues like depression, anxiety, anger and grief. It centres on building a trusting relationship and supporting people to make their own choices.

Anna’s charity and clinical experience means she often combines attentive listening with practical discussion. Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be decided together. She will help clients identify what feels useful and adapt the approach as goals become clearer.

The original biography does not state which online session formats are used, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also makes it possible to continue with therapy when someone moves or travels abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the format to a person’s needs and routine.
