Online support
Anna's background working with trauma, grief and eating difficulties means she brings practical experience to sessions while following a client-centred stance. Together the person and the therapist decide which ways of working feel most helpful, and they review progress as therapy continues. Finding the right fit is part of the work and happens at the client’s pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a fuller face-to-face feeling, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, travel or family commitments and to continue support even when schedules change.
