About Anna

Anna Stillwell is a counsellor who uses Client-Centred and Solution-Focused approaches. She works online and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. Her style is practical and collaborative, focusing on what clients want to change.

Anna draws on three years of clinical experience and a Diploma in integrative therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and follows their ethical framework.

Background and approach

She combines humanistic listening with goal-focused techniques to meet individual needs. In sessions she helps people talk through low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing career uncertainty, questions about life purpose and intimacy-related issues.

Communication problems and women's issues are also areas she commonly addresses. Therapy is presented as a partnership. Anna emphasises the therapeutic relationship and treats clients as the experts in their own lives.

She aims to help people find practical steps and solutions rather than handing down advice. Her online work includes video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Sessions & fees

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship and attentive listening. It helps people feel heard, explore emotions and build self-understanding so they can make changes at their own pace.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at clear, practical steps and small goals. It is useful for people who want short-term support to tackle specific problems like stress, communication issues or career decisions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Over time they may combine elements from different approaches to suit changing needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a longer, more conversational session. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
