About Anna
Anna Stillwell is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years' experience working online from the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and the challenges of life change. Anna also supports those dealing with career questions, communication problems, and issues common among young adults.
Anna uses a client-centred approach that places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She listens without directing, and encourages clients to identify their own solutions. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to help set clear, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Anna aims to build a straightforward working relationship and to look at what is getting in the way of daily functioning. She helps people notice patterns, practise new ways of responding, and try small changes that can make life feel more manageable.
Her background is in humanistic integrative practice, which means she combines different approaches based on what each person needs. Anna has a diploma in counselling and carries professional indemnity and public liability insurance. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) guidance and ethical framework.
She works in English and accepts international clients. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
Client-centred and solution-focused work online
Anna uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's perspective. This approach means sessions are led by what the client brings, with the counsellor offering listening, reflection and gentle questioning to help people make sense of their own experience. It can help with feeling overwhelmed, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical goals and small steps that move problems forward. This method concentrates on what works now and what can be tried next, which many people find useful for stress, career decisions and adjusting after big life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree on a way of working together. That conversation is collaborative and can include trying different techniques to see what helps.
The biography notes she provides therapy by video, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions at different times of day. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use these flexible arrangements to support ongoing work.
