About Anna

Anna Graham works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and related concerns using client-centred methods and trauma-focused approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has six years' experience in direct practice.

Anna bases sessions on what each person needs. She listens to the situation, discusses hopes and goals, and agrees a straightforward plan. That plan can centre on talking through difficult experiences or on learning practical coping strategies for day-to-day life.

Her practice includes focused work on trauma. She uses approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness and client-centred ways of working. These are applied according to what the client prefers and what matches their presenting concerns.

Anna also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns, anger and adapting to life changes. Other areas she works on include body image, chronic health issues and the emotional effects of cancer.

Sessions are informal and goal-focused. Anna aims to help people notice small changes that make daily life easier and to build practical skills for coping. She works in English and practises within the United Kingdom.

If someone wishes to begin, the first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment so an appropriate plan can be agreed.

How Anna uses trauma work and mindfulness for online sessions

Anna draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what the client finds most pressing. Client-Centred Therapy involves listening, reflecting and collaborating so the client sets the pace and goals. It suits people who want a supportive space to talk through problems and set practical aims.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is used for trauma-focused work; it involves guided processing of distressing memories and can help reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that can help manage anxiety and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss preferences, any previous therapy, and what feels manageable, then agree a plan that fits the person's needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or removing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals offer similar online options, and Anna will discuss practical arrangements when arranging the first appointment.
