About Anna
Anna Doherty is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating issues and addiction. She also supports those coping with sleep problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, career strain and major life changes. Anna lists codependency and a range of attachment and relationship concerns among the issues she focuses on.
She works in a client-centred way, putting the person's experience at the heart of each session. That means listening first, then shaping the conversation around what matters most to the individual. Her approach blends talk-based therapy with body-focused practices when these are useful.
Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic ideas and somatic work to tailor a plan to each person. Techniques are chosen to match the problem and the person's preferences.
Sessions aim to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck, learn new ways of coping, and make clearer choices about relationships and daily life. Practical tools such as mindfulness exercises or simple behavioural steps are used alongside reflective conversation.
She accepts clients internationally and provides services from the United Kingdom. To begin you use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, with the counsellor listening first and shaping sessions around what the client brings. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to understand patterns and make choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours link to feelings and practical problems. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and building step-by-step coping skills that can be practised between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve focus. These practices are often used alongside talk-based work to help with anxiety, rumination and symptoms that affect daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean trying a short exercise, reviewing its effect, and adjusting the plan together.
Confirm the exact session arrangements before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, and it allows people to use guided exercises and homework between sessions. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time and help them access consistent, ongoing support.
