About Anna
Anna Bridgland helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and depression. She supports those dealing with relationship or intimacy problems, parenting and family strain, and issues around self-esteem and identity. She also works with grief, trauma, anger and navigating life changes such as career shifts or ADHD challenges.
Anna takes a straightforward and respectful approach. Conversations are shaped around what each person needs. She listens first, then helps set simple goals to make small, steady changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on everyday life skills as well as emotional understanding. Her work draws on client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural tools. That means Anna prioritises the person’s own goals while offering clear techniques to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Clients can expect collaborative planning and exercises to try between sessions. Over seven years she has supported people through a wide range of struggles. That experience helps her recognise common patterns and offer tailored responses.
She emphasises kindness and avoids judgement while helping clients build new habits and coping strategies. People who choose Anna often want practical steps alongside supportive listening. She aims to make therapy a calm, manageable part of life rather than something overwhelming.
If someone prefers a direct, compassionate counsellor who uses tried-and-tested approaches, Anna may be a good match.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and behaviour change goals.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods in sessions and adjust plans based on what works for the person. This collaborative way means sessions stay focused on the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and recreate a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or need quick, ongoing contact between sessions. These options help make therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments.
