About Anna
Counsellor Anna Graham is a BACP member with six years of counselling experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression among other concerns. Anna takes a practical approach and focuses on what a person wants from counselling.
Anna has worked in mental health and social care for over a decade, so she is familiar with a wide range of life stresses. She listens to a person's account and negotiates a clear plan together. That plan might simply involve talking things through or using specific techniques to manage symptoms.
She describes trauma work as an area she specialises in and uses focused methods to help people process difficult memories and move forward. Anna also draws on mindfulness practices to help with anxiety and low mood. Where appropriate she may include strategies to improve sleep, eating patterns or managing anger.
Sessions are shaped around the client's goals and practical needs. Anna aims to agree on clear steps and checks progress over time. She treats each person as an individual rather than applying a fixed protocol.
People looking for support with relationship strain, intimacy concerns or family-related difficulties can discuss these topics in the initial conversation. Anna works with issues linked to illness, loss, control, isolation and other life changes. Her practice language is English.
How Anna uses trauma work and mindfulness in online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on the person's priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps people to decide what they want to work on and how to proceed. This approach suits people who want to set the pace and shape their sessions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is used to help process distressing memories. It involves guided attention and structured phases to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed. Please confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, as the profile does not list specific arrangements. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid needing to be on camera if someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt techniques like EMDR and mindfulness so they work in remote sessions.Areas of expertise
