About Anna

Anna Reeves is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works integratively with a person-centred emphasis, helping people talk through anxiety, panic and stressful life moments. Her style is straightforward and supportive. She aims to make sessions feel calm and practical for worried parents reading on a phone.

She has three years of professional experience, including work on an acute adult inpatient unit and with a child and adolescent mental health eating disorder inpatient service. She also used play therapy while serving as a school counsellor in a primary school. These roles gave her experience with trauma, family problems and difficulties tied to concentration and memory.

Anna sees each person as the expert in their own story. She works alongside clients to build on strengths and set small, manageable goals. Conversations focus on what feels most important to the client, and practical steps are agreed in session.

Her approach is integrative with a strong person-centred core. She uses elements from cognitive behavioural ideas, systemic thinking, Gestalt, psychodynamic and narrative therapies to tailor work to each person. This means sessions might include talking, reflecting on patterns, and trying new ways of coping.

Clients often seek help for anxiety, panic disorder and panic attacks, depression, trauma and family strain. Anna also supports people affected by autism, ADHD and intellectual disability, and works with workplace stress and social anxiety. She offers therapy in English for people in the UK.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Anna works integratively, drawing on a small number of well known therapeutic approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Systemic ideas look at patterns in relationships and family interactions to find practical ways to ease ongoing stress and conflict.

The choice of approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues, so the plan can change if something is not working.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when schedules shift. Because the source biography does not specify which session formats are offered, please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to maintain regular contact and to practise strategies between meetings without needing extra travel.
