Anna Wright

Anna Wright is a qualified counsellor registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She brings extensive practical experience to her counselling practice, having supported people through adversity for more than 15 years, including ten years working as an adult social worker. Her academic background includes a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Forensic Psychology, and an MA in Social Work, alongside formal counselling training at Counselling Skills levels 2, 3 and 4.

Her work has involved supporting people facing a wide range of difficulties, including coping with cancer, managing life and work stress, anxiety, loss, and feelings of being low or stuck. This combination of hands-on social work experience and academic study has informed her understanding of how adversity affects people and how resilience and positive change can unfold. In practice she has helped clients develop greater confidence and self-esteem and move toward a more content way of living.

Anna is trained in person-centred counselling, an approach that emphasizes the client’s central role in identifying and exploring problems and discovering solutions. She aims to build a collaborative, respectful working relationship that allows people to explore their challenges at a deeper level. While her primary orientation is person-centred, she integrates other therapeutic models when appropriate, including cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas, to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Anna welcomes questions about her background and approach and invites anyone interested to get in touch to learn more about how she works.
