Anna Clifton, BACP

Anna Clifton is licensed in the United Kingdom and a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has practical experience supporting people who are experiencing low mood and depression, navigating relationship difficulties, processing trauma and bereavement, and managing stress and anxiety.

Anna approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and any agreed treatment plan around the individual needs of the client. She focuses on tailoring the pace and content of therapy so it aligns with what the client finds most helpful and workable.

Recognising that reaching out for support takes courage, Anna aims to offer steady, nonjudgmental support as clients explore changes they want to make. She is committed to working collaboratively so that each person can move toward a more fulfilling and happier life on terms that suit them.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Anna Clifton uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and understanding. One strand of her work emphasises skills-based strategies to help manage symptoms of stress and anxiety, teaching coping tools and ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings in everyday life. Another element of her approach is trauma-aware listening and support, offering space to process painful experiences and grief with care and steady pacing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She considers the client’s needs, goals, and personal preferences and will adapt methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Anna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access regular support from wherever the client is, enabling continuity of care and making it simpler to engage in therapy alongside other life commitments.
