About Anna
Anna Critsinelis has practised as a counsellor for more than 10 years. She supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar conditions, ADHD and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence so people can talk honestly about what’s happening for them.
Her work focuses on helping people build practical coping skills. Sessions aim to boost resilience and increase day-to-day functioning. Anna uses clear, straightforward techniques and listens closely to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Anna draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different situations. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out new behaviours.
Client-centred work keeps the person’s experience central and Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals. She has a postgraduate background in psychodynamic study and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Anna speaks English and Portuguese and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. People can expect straightforward conversation, reflections on patterns, and gentle steps towards change. The aim is to leave sessions with things to try between meetings.
To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching process and arrange sessions based on the published scheduling options. Anna adapts the pace to each person’s needs and circumstances.

How Anna works online
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Anna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that suit the situation. She adjusts the focus over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as fitting a check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. If you need information about which session formats are currently offered, confirm the options before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver these approaches effectively through discussion, practical exercises and goal-setting, even when sessions are remote, helping people apply what they learn between meetings.
