About Anna

Anna Reeves is a counsellor who works integratively with a mainly person-centred approach. She uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, workplace strain and depression. Anna also supports people dealing with trauma, family problems and challenges linked to ADHD and autism. She holds BACP registration and practises in the United Kingdom.

Anna draws on three years of professional experience in a range of settings. Her background includes work on an acute adult inpatient unit and in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) eating-disorder inpatient service. She has also used play therapy while working as a school counsellor in a primary school.

In sessions she encourages people to say what matters to them and notices the strengths they already have. Conversations can include practical steps for managing panic, sleep and concentration as well as ways to steady mood during hard periods. The tone is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Anna describes her approach as integrative with a person-centred core. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural, systemic, gestalt, psychodynamic and narrative ways of working. These are mixed to suit what an individual wants to focus on rather than applied in a fixed order.

She aims to help people feel more able to cope day to day and clearer about next steps. People who want to start can expect gentle, direct conversation and tools they can try between sessions.

How Anna adapts talking therapies for online work

Anna combines a person-centred way of working with techniques from cognitive behavioural, systemic, gestalt, psychodynamic and narrative approaches. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the individual. Cognitive behavioural methods look at practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Narrative and systemic ideas help people make sense of family patterns and the stories they tell about themselves.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made if something does not feel helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and everyday life, reducing travel time and making it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. The focus is on offering sessions that fit your routine and needs rather than on a fixed delivery style.
