Anna Graham

Anna Graham is a counsellor with six years' experience working in mental health and social care. She aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Anna listens first and then works with each person to shape the next steps.

She believes everyone brings a unique story to counselling. Sessions are tailored to what a person needs and wants. Sometimes talking through things helps most. Other times practical techniques and coping strategies are the right choice.

Anna has particular experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also works with trauma and abuse, grief, anger and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Her wider focus includes issues such as body image, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and family conflict.

Her practice draws on approaches that suit trauma work and everyday coping. She uses client-centred ways of working so the person’s priorities guide the session. Mindfulness exercises and trauma-focused methods are also part of her toolkit.

Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If you think this might be the right fit, she invites you to get in touch and start the matching process.

Approaches used online and how they help

Anna uses client-centred work to begin online sessions, which means the conversation starts with what matters most to the person and the therapist follows their lead. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings or to set goals for change.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, for people who are dealing with traumatic memories. EMDR involves guided attention and structured processing techniques to reduce the intensity of distress tied to specific events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist discusses options, listens to your goals and tries methods that suit your needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor tasks and exercises between sessions.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit counselling around daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it easier to attend when mobility or health issues make leaving home difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness practices and trauma-focused techniques effectively to an online setting.
