About Anna
Anna Gardner supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She speaks plainly and listens to what is said and what is left unsaid. Anna presents a calm, steady presence so people can talk about hard things without feeling rushed.
With five years of clinical practice, Anna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She aims to build a trusting working relationship that lets clients explore painful memories, patterns in relationships, or day-to-day overwhelm.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable steps as well as deeper emotional work. Common concerns she helps with include attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, addiction issues, feelings of guilt or shame, and loneliness. She also supports people dealing with infidelity, midlife questions, money worries, life purpose and impulsivity concerns.
Anna holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try approaches in sessions, and adjust the plan based on the person's goals and day-to-day realities. Work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
Online therapy gives practical options for busy or geographically spread people. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial expression and body language. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging offers a flexible way to check in between talks or to engage without being on camera. These formats make it easier to keep continuity when life is hectic.
