About Anna
Counsellor Anna Reeves is a BACP member who has worked in the United Kingdom for three years. She works with stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, depression and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English.
Anna uses an integrative approach with a main focus on person-centred work. That means she aims to listen without judgement and help people make sense of what matters most to them. She also draws on a range of other methods when they are helpful.
Her background includes work on an acute adult inpatient unit and in a CAMHS eating disorder inpatient service. She has also worked as a school counsellor using play-based methods in a primary school. These roles give her experience with people in different settings and at different stages of difficulty.
Anna has experience helping with attention and memory problems alongside autism and ADHD related concerns. She also offers support around dissociation, attachment issues and post-traumatic stress. Workplace stress, panic attacks and social anxiety are part of her practice too.
When meeting someone for the first time she listens to what the person thinks will help most. From there she discusses suitable ways of working and practical steps to try. Sessions follow the goals set together and can include short-term focused work or longer conversations depending on what the person prefers.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling can work
Anna uses person-centred work as a core approach. That means the counsellor listens closely and helps the person decide what matters most. It is often helpful for general anxiety, low mood and when someone needs space to make their own sense of events.She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques. These focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT-style work can help with panic attacks, social anxiety and certain patterns that keep stress going.
Choosing the right approach is part of what happens in the early sessions. Anna will talk through different ways of working and agree what to try based on someone’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as goals become clearer.
If you are considering online counselling please check the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around daily life and reduce travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when less screen time is needed. Registered or accredited professionals who offer remote work can help you agree a practical plan for how sessions will run.
