Anna Zielinska
Gentle, person-centred counselling for practical change
About Anna
Anna Zielinska is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Polish and uses a person-focused way of working that centres the client's own experience and strengths. She sees each person as the expert on their life.
Sessions aim to create a space where clients can talk through what feels hardest and notice small steps forward.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on listening, respectful questioning and helping people use their own resources to cope better between meetings. Anna works from a client-centred approach. That means she follows the client’s pace and priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.
She draws on practical conversation, reflection and everyday problem solving to address concerns such as communication problems, commitment issues and codependency. Her work also covers a wide range of related difficulties, including body image, chronic illness and disability, caregiving stress, attachment and personality-related concerns. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP as a listed credential.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Client-centred care through online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's concerns and timing rather than using a set agenda. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and processing past trauma by building on the person's own strengths and insights.The therapist aims to work collaboratively to find what fits best. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most and agreeing how to proceed, so the approach can change if a different way would suit the person's goals and preferences better.
Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video supports longer, face-to-face style conversations while phone work uses less bandwidth and can be easier for someone who prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when a written approach feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving and travel, and help people access a therapist who speaks English or Polish regardless of location.
