About Anna

Anna Clifton is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience working with people facing low mood, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma, bereavement, stress and anxiety. She works with concerns that include self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions and intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shapes conversations to the needs of each person. That means practical discussion, problem-solving and attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. Anna aims to help people identify patterns that keep them stuck and to build clearer ways of managing day-to-day stress.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. She supports those dealing with caregiver stress, ageing concerns, blended family questions and separation or divorce. She also works with people navigating career transitions, life purpose and midlife changes.

When trauma, bereavement or addiction are present she focuses on stabilising difficult feelings and on practical coping strategies. Conversations can include exploring how relationships shape emotional responses and what small steps can reduce overwhelm. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on concrete next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with mood and relationship issues. One common approach is working on patterns and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood - this involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes to see what helps in daily life. It suits people wanting concrete steps to reduce worry and lift mood. Another focus is on attachment and relational patterns. This approach looks at how early relationships influence current connections and communication, and it aims to improve how someone understands and responds to relationship stress. It can help with intimacy concerns, codependency and communication problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. That makes the choice collaborative rather than fixed. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about practical arrangements and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire and book a first session.
