Anna Stillwell

Anna Stillwell is a BACP registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and life purpose issues. Anna uses a blend of humanistic and solution-focused ideas to shape sessions. She concentrates on the relationship between counsellor and client and treats clients as the experts in their own lives. Sessions focus on talking through what matters, spotting patterns that cause distress, and finding small, practical steps forward. She prefers collaborative work rather than giving direct advice. Clients can expect to reflect on feelings, rehearse different responses, and try short experiments between sessions. This approach is aimed at reducing overwhelming feelings and improving day-to-day coping. Anna provides therapy by video and has completed relevant training for online practice. She works from an integrative perspective, pulling together techniques that fit an individual’s situation and goals while using Client-Centred and Solution-Focused methods when helpful. Her experience includes supporting people through life changes, communication problems, young adult issues, and women’s concerns. She also offers coaching-style support for career questions and decision points. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are offered in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the counsellor-client relationship, active listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard while they untangle stressful thoughts and feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-oriented. It concentrates on small, practical steps and what is already working, which can suit people who want to try targeted changes for career or life purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful based on the client’s goals, needs and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as the person’s priorities become clearer.

The biography notes she offers therapy by video and has training for online practice. If you are enquiring, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or let someone join a session when they cannot be in an office. Registered or accredited professionals often find similar therapeutic work translates well to video, with the same focus on listening, exploring options and planning practical steps.
