About Anna
Anna Graham is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of counselling experience. She has worked in mental health and social care for over ten years, supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns including anger and relationship strain.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Anna starts by listening to what each person brings and what they hope to change. Sessions can focus on talking things through, learning practical coping strategies, or using trauma-focused methods when needed.
Her background includes work with people facing complex experiences such as PTSD, chronic illness, and bereavement. She uses approaches that suit the person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. That means some people will do mindfulness practices, others will focus on processing difficult memories, and some will work on everyday skills to manage stress and impulsivity.
Anna pays attention to the immediate, practical problems that make anger and frustration worse. She helps people spot patterns, test small changes, and build routines that reduce flare-ups. She also offers trauma-focused options for anyone whose anger links to past abuse or shocking events.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients work together with Anna to set goals and agree on techniques or exercises they can try between sessions. To begin, people use the site process to match and book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Anna offers client-centred work that focuses on listening and practical problem solving. This approach helps people clarify goals, try small changes and develop coping strategies for day-to-day anger and stress.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related material. EMDR involves guided attention and memory processing to reduce the distress linked to upsetting memories; it is often used when anger is connected to past abuse or shock. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she uses, teaching grounding exercises and attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals and comfort level. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use appointment slots around work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals offer a range of approaches to suit different problems and preferences.
