Anna Graham, BACP

Anna Graham is a qualified counsellor who holds the credential BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has six years of professional experience supporting people through many life challenges. She offers practical, person-focused therapy for concerns ranging from stress and anxiety to trauma and abuse, as well as grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting struggles, anger, and coping with life changes.

Her practice emphasises treating each person as an individual and tailoring work to fit their needs and goals. She provides a non-judgemental space where people can explore their experiences and decide collaboratively how to proceed. For some, talking through difficulties brings relief and renewed resilience; for others, introducing specific techniques and coping strategies is more helpful. Anna adapts sessions to the priorities a person brings and works alongside them to develop a plan to manage everyday stresses.

Anna has a particular focus on trauma work and uses specialist approaches designed to help people process traumatic experiences and move forward at their own pace. If her style and areas of focus match what someone is seeking, she welcomes contact to discuss how she might provide support.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and trauma work

Anna draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where the person is the expert on their own experience. This approach focuses on listening deeply, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them uncover their own solutions to difficult situations.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people who are working through distressing memories and trauma. EMDR involves structured processing techniques that aim to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and make them easier to integrate into daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a complementary approach to help people build awareness of thoughts and feelings in the present moment and develop practical ways to manage stress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients explore options and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access registered professionals and therapists from home or between commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
