About Anna
Anna Critsinelis is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' practical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and she accepts international clients.
Anna keeps conversations direct and practical. She helps people talk through what is worrying them and looks at small, workable steps they can try between sessions. The focus is on everyday pressures such as work, study, relationships and the strain of transitions into adulthood.
Her clinical background includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches shape how she structures sessions and sets goals with people. She draws on different methods depending on what a person needs at the time.
People often come for help with feelings of emptiness, trouble with relationships, issues around attachment and abandonment, or struggles tied to identity and gender. Anna also supports people managing impulsivity, compulsive patterns and communication problems.
Practicalities are discussed at the first meeting. Anna uses a collaborative style to agree on what to work on and how to measure progress. If you want to try counselling she asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange the first session.
How Anna uses different approaches in online counselling
Anna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. That means trying methods and adjusting them if something does not fit the person’s needs or pace.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use counselling from different locations and can help sustain continuity while life circumstances change.
