Anna Clifton, BACP

Anna Clifton is licensed in the United Kingdom and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has worked with people experiencing low mood and depression as well as those facing relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement, stress and anxiety.

She offers a respectful, sensitive and compassionate approach, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. Anna recognises that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and she provides steady support throughout that process.

Her practice focuses on listening carefully, adapting interventions to individual circumstances, and supporting clients as they explore practical changes and emotional healing.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Anna Clifton draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include skills-based coping strategies - practical tools that help manage symptoms of anxiety, stress and low mood through breathing, pacing, and cognitive reframing. These approaches aim to build immediate, usable skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She also uses trauma-informed and loss-focused methods to help people explore and process painful memories, grief, and relationship hurt in a paced and supportive way. Such approaches provide space to understand emotional responses and work toward healing after difficult experiences.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. Anna will work with each client to identify preferences, needs and goals and to adapt techniques so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule support around work, family and travel. Registered professionals and therapists can maintain continuity of care across locations, and many clients find that remote options increase access and make it simpler to stay consistent with appointments.
