About Anna

Anna Clifton works with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns, and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope with life changes and addictions. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Anna listens to what matters most and structures conversations so they lead to practical next steps. She works on grief, trauma and bereavement through paced discussions and problem-solving. For intimacy-related issues and relationship difficulties she helps clients clarify patterns and practise clearer communication.

She offers support around parenting pressures, blended family issues and caregiving stress, and addresses concerns linked to ageing, cancer and midlife change. Anna also helps people facing substance use problems and codependency by focusing on coping skills and safer routines.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. Sessions look at current difficulties, useful strategies and realistic adjustments for everyday life. She adapts how she works to fit individual circumstances while keeping discussions practical and time-limited when that suits the person.

Anna has worked with people on career concerns, life purpose and isolation. She pays attention to attachment-related patterns such as abandonment worries and avoidant styles. Her background and BACP membership inform her practice and professional standards.

How Anna uses evidence-based approaches online

Anna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce worry and low mood. Behavioural strategies concentrate on small, repeatable actions to rebuild routines, improve sleep and increase coping skills for stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will talk through your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that suit your situation, adjusting the plan as you go. This is a collaborative process where methods are tested and refined based on what helps most.

If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also avoids travel time and can make it simpler to maintain regular appointments alongside daily commitments.
