About Anna
Anna Doherty is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She works with issues such as addictions, eating concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD, sleep problems, grief and trauma. Anna aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for someone who is worried or unsure.
Her practice emphasises a client-centred style. That means she usually starts by listening and following what matters most to the person in front of her. She combines that approach with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help with thinking patterns and day-to-day coping.
Anna also brings somatic ideas into sessions when body awareness would help, and she uses psychodynamic thinking to look at longer-standing patterns when relevant. She may use art-based techniques as brief interventions if a client finds them useful. Conversations are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed protocol.
With six years of experience noted in the profile and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are set up after the initial matching process.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, so people can choose a rhythm that fits their life.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach usually involve open conversation, reflecting what matters and building trust at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. Online CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it often includes clear steps and homework tasks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that suit the person. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives, for example to avoid travel, to have shorter check-ins, or to join from a different location. Online work also makes it straightforward to share exercises, mindfulness practices and written handouts between sessions, helping people apply what they learn in everyday situations.
