Anna Reeves, BACP

Anna Reeves is a registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and related challenges such as attachment difficulties, dissociation, and panic attacks. Her work also includes experience with autism spectrum presentations and intellectual disability, and she has supported individuals affected by eating disorders.

Her clinical background includes placements in an acute adult inpatient unit and a CAMHS eating disorder inpatient service, alongside work as a School Counsellor using play therapy in a primary school setting. These varied roles have informed her flexible, compassionate approach to care and her comfort working across different settings and needs.

Anna works integratively with a mainly person-centred orientation, which prioritises the person and their strengths when exploring change. She has additional training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), systemic therapy, Gestalt, psychodynamic, and narrative approaches to therapy, allowing her to draw on techniques suited to each individual. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes membership of the professional body for counselling in the UK.

Anna believes people are the experts in their own stories and seeks to support and empower them as they work toward their goals, offering a respectful, collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Anna Reeves works primarily from a person-centred framework, which focuses on listening, empathy, and recognising each person as the expert in their own life - this approach helps people build self-understanding and draw on their strengths when facing stress, relationships, or emotional difficulties.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and panic symptoms. In addition, systemic ideas are applied when family dynamics or relational patterns are central to the presenting concerns, helping people explore roles and connections within their support networks.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Anna works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are shaped together so techniques and pace match what the client wants to work on.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend from home, work, or other convenient locations. These options support ongoing access to registered professionals and therapists while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
