About Anna
Counsellor and BACP member Anna Conway-Cowin has three years' experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating problems, low self-esteem, career concerns and life changes. She also lists additional focus areas including personality disorders, phobias, self-harm and sexual assault and abuse. Anna works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English.
Anna uses client-centred approaches alongside Jungian ideas, trauma-focused work and Internal Family Systems methods to structure sessions. She listens for what is most pressing and helps people name the patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions aim to make thoughts and feelings clearer so practical steps can follow.
Her practice pays attention to how past events affect current reactions. That can include looking at trauma responses and the parts of someone’s inner life that feel stuck or in conflict. The work can involve talking through memories, noticing bodily reactions and testing small changes between sessions.
Sessions also look at relationships and intimacy issues in straightforward terms. Anna helps people understand how behaviour and feelings shape interactions, and she supports work on boundaries, communication and rebuilding trust in oneself.
Clients join through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Anna accepts international clients; sessions are provided in English.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Anna often uses client-centred work, which focuses on helping the client talk through what matters most and clarifying feelings. This approach can help with issues like anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns by making priorities and choices easier to see.She also draws on trauma-focused work to address the effects of past harm. That approach looks at how upsetting events shape reactions now and uses careful, paced conversations to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The counsellor will look at your needs, goals and preferences and discuss together which methods feel like the best fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. Some formats can allow shorter check-ins when that suits, or sessions without video for those who prefer not to be on camera. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
