About Anna

Anna Critsinelis is a counsellor with ten years' experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She holds BACP registration and offers a calm, straightforward way of working. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping people manage day-to-day challenges and feel steadier.

Anna takes a collaborative approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what changes would make life easier.

Background and approach

She uses clear tools and exercises rather than long lectures. Her background includes training in a range of talking therapies. This variety means she can draw on different ways of working to suit each person.

She explains options simply and checks in regularly to make sure the approach is helpful. Anna also supports people working with ADHD, bipolar experiences, grief around separation, and questions of identity such as gender dysphoria. Other areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. She sees people based in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs.

How Anna’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on actions that matter to them. It can be useful for stress, low mood and when life feels stuck because it encourages clearer values and steady steps forward.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows your lead, offers empathic listening and helps you make sense of what matters most. This approach can suit people who need a calm space to think things through.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to fit their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to make sure the way of working feels helpful.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and surroundings permit. Phone sessions can be easier when a quicker check-in is needed or video is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those balancing busy days. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
