About Anna
Anna Doherty is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, addictions and eating issues. She supports people wrestling with low self-esteem, grief, ADHD and life changes. Anna also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, family tensions and career worries.
Anna uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person in the lead. She combines talking therapy with mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice how stress shows up in the body.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic thinking and somatic practice are available when they suit the person and their goals. She holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Anna has six years of recent experience and an extended background in therapeutic work that informs her practice.
In sessions she aims to tailor conversations and interventions to each person’s needs. That might mean practical CBT-style tools for managing worry, mindfulness exercises to steady attention, or body-based practices to ease tension. Anna matches the approach to what the client finds useful.
People can expect a calm, direct style and clear explanations of the methods being used. She encourages small, workable steps and practical skills alongside deeper reflection. The emphasis is on helping people build coping strategies and make changes that fit their life.
