About Anna
Anna Gilmore is a counsellor with ten years' experience helping people work through difficult feelings and life events. She uses a respectful, person-centred way of working and treats each person as an individual. Anna has worked across charities, schools and specialist services and draws on that variety when meeting new clients.
Her background includes committee work for Women's Aid and volunteering with Rape Crisis. She has also worked for Mind, spent time counselling pupils in a secondary school, and supports clients through Woman's Trust.
Background and approach
Anna works with Sporting Chance to offer counselling for elite athletes from different sports. Anna's practice covers a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, eating issues, trauma and abuse, grief and relationship and intimacy-related problems. She also helps people facing sleep difficulty, anger, low self-esteem and the practical strain that comes with major life changes.
Anna holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice. She also gained a Master of Science from King's College London in Psychology and Neuroscience. Additional training includes safeguarding, autism awareness and work with domestic sexual violence.
In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them. Anna listens closely, follows each person's pace and helps them make sense of their experiences so they can find clearer ways forward.
Client-centred care online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and supports the person to find their own solutions; this approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping after trauma.Anna's background in charity and specialist work means she brings practical experience to online sessions. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which approach fits best, adjusting pace and focus as needs and goals become clearer. Finding the right way of working is part of the process and the therapist will help test what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for ongoing support, quick reflections between sessions or when a person wants to write rather than speak. These remote options make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or family commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
