About Anna

Anna Zielinska is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Anna speaks English and Polish and accepts international clients.

Her approach is grounded in client-centred therapy. She listens to what matters to each person and follows their pace. Sessions focus on helping people talk through problems and identify their own strengths.

Anna works with everyday pressures young adults often face, such as leaving home, starting work, study stress, money worries and relationship strain. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Practical concerns such as communication and commitment problems are part of her work too.

In sessions she offers straightforward conversation, reflection and gentle questioning to help people make sense of patterns that cause distress. The aim is to develop clearer self-understanding and practical ways to manage difficult feelings.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set the pace and Anna adapts her responses to what emerges in the room. People can expect direct discussion about current problems and consideration of small, manageable changes.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred therapy translates to online counselling

Client-centred therapy emphasises active listening and following the client's concerns. The therapist focuses on understanding what the person brings to the session and reflecting that back to help them clarify thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and processing difficult experiences.

That single approach is the core of Anna's work, so online sessions will keep the same emphasis on listening and collaboration. Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and what helps most, then adjust the tone and pace together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. It can make it easier to have a shorter check-in between commitments or to attend from different locations while managing study or work. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients choose a format that fits their needs and daily routine.
