About Anna
Anna Doherty is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She also supports people with addictions, eating and sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD, grief and trauma. Anna works with many related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Anna uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions centre on what the client brings and what they hope to change.
Background and approach
She blends talking therapy with body-focused and mindfulness practices when that feels useful. The aim is to make ideas and tools usable in daily life. Her approach draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness to make space for what a person needs.
Cognitive behavioural therapy is also used to spot thinking and behaviour patterns and try practical alternatives. Psychodynamic ideas and somatic techniques are available for clients who want to look at deeper patterns or bodily experience. Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
She has six years of more recent professional experience in the UK working with these concerns. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Anna adapts the pace and tools to each person, aiming for clear steps towards feeling steadier and more in control.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT often involves short exercises, behaviour experiments and homework tasks that can be reviewed in the next session. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and stress. These exercises can be guided during a video call or offered as short audio or text prompts for between-session practice. They help with stress, anxiety and improving day-to-day focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals and what has or has not helped before. That conversation shapes a plan that may combine approaches and change over time in response to progress.
Online sessions can fit around busy lives and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical.
