Anna Graham , BACP

Anna Graham is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and a range of other life challenges. She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings six years of experience working in mental health and social care.

Her approach centres on treating each person as an individual and tailoring sessions to what will work best for them. Anna creates a non-judgemental space where people can explore their experiences and decide, together with her, how to proceed. For some people, talking through difficulties offers clarity and emotional release; for others, introducing structured techniques and coping strategies can build practical skills to manage everyday stressors.

Anna specialises in trauma work and uses a range of specialist methods to help people move forward from distressing events. She also supports concerns such as eating and sleeping issues, parenting challenges, intimacy and relationship problems, chronic illness and pain, isolation, and divisions within families. Throughout her work she aims to collaborate with clients to develop plans that reflect their hopes, needs and personal goals.

Her practice emphasises empathy, respect and a focus on resilience, helping people to identify strengths and strategies to manage change and regain a sense of balance.

Therapeutic approaches for online trauma and recovery

Anna integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, which means the therapist prioritises the client's perspective, listens empathically, and helps people set the direction of their own healing. This approach is helpful for those wanting a supportive space to explore emotions and clarify goals.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of distressing events, working with clients to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact on daily life. When appropriate, Anna incorporates EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - a structured technique that can help some people reprocess traumatic memories and reduce associated distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anna works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options, adjusts plans as therapy evolves, and aims to find practical strategies that feel manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care even when in-person sessions are not possible.
