About Anna
Anna Critsinelis is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, bipolar conditions, coping with life changes and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and she accepts international clients.
She works in a conversational, collaborative way. Sessions aim to help people talk through current difficulties and find practical steps they can try between meetings. Anna uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions around the issue at hand.
Clients come for short-term problem-solving and for longer-term exploration. Common themes she addresses include relationships with others, abandonment and attachment concerns, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also supports people dealing with impulsivity, control issues, and the practical effects of neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
In sessions she gives space to name what matters most and helps identify small, practical changes. Work may include looking at thought patterns, trying brief exercises, and setting simple goals to test between sessions. This approach is intended to make therapy feel more manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.
Anna's background includes postgraduate study in psychodynamic approaches and registrations with BACP and BPS. If you want to explore working together, follow the site instructions to complete the short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.

Approaches used in online sessions
Anna often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with stress, impulsivity and ADHD-related difficulties.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try techniques in session, and check what is helpful. Plans are adjusted as you learn which methods suit your needs and day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists who offer remote sessions commonly find that video or phone meetings support the same kinds of practical work as face-to-face sessions, such as thought exercises, brief behavioural experiments and planning between appointments.
