About Anna
Anna Clifton is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. She explains things clearly and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She works in English and supports people both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Anna has five years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She helps people who are coping with relationship strain, bereavement and trauma, as well as those dealing with addictions, parenting pressures and career worries.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as self-esteem, intimacy concerns and life transitions. In sessions she listens with respect and sensitivity. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs.
Together they set goals and choose approaches that suit the situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her practical focus means sessions often cover coping strategies that can be used between meetings. This can include ways to reduce stress, manage anxious thoughts and improve day-to-day routines.
She also works on communication skills and managing difficult feelings after loss or major life changes. People who prefer remote options can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with a suitable therapist and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.
Therapeutic techniques and online support that fit your life
Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear tools and practical steps. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood, teaching ways to notice thoughts and respond differently. Another approach concentrates on building coping skills and routines that reduce stress and improve daily functioning, such as simple relaxation practices and planning strategies.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person's situation, discuss different options and agree on a plan together. Goals and methods can be adjusted as progress is made, so the work stays relevant to changing needs and priorities.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and day-to-day life, while allowing therapists to work with people across different locations.
