About Anna

Anna Bridgland is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She supports those coping with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger and life changes. She also offers help with parenting strains, family conflict, self-esteem and issues related to ADHD and LGBT matters.

Anna works in a straightforward and respectful way. She listens first and adapts conversations to what feels most useful for each person. Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable steps.

Background and approach

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where they set the pace. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, choosing techniques that match the issue at hand. That might mean exploring thoughts and behaviour patterns or offering space to talk through painful experiences.

She aims to balance emotional listening with tools you can use between sessions. Anna has seven years of professional experience and is listed with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people across a wide range of concerns including communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and social anxiety.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online for people in the United Kingdom and abroad. If you are ready to begin, she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire to find the right fit and then schedule sessions to suit your needs.

How Anna uses client-centred and CBT approaches online

Anna uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s experience. That approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. It is often helpful for processing grief, shame, isolation and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers practical exercises and simple tools to manage anxiety, stress, low mood and unhelpful patterns of thinking.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together you can try different techniques and decide what fits best for your needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging which makes therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are better for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping continuity between sessions.
