About Anna

Anna Zielinska is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She communicates in English and Polish and works with clients from the United Kingdom and abroad. She uses a collaborative, respectful manner and encourages people to draw on their own strengths when facing difficult moments.

Anna practises client-centred therapy, which means conversations focus on what matters to the person sitting in the room. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears so clients can make clearer decisions about next steps. Sessions aim to create space for honest talk without direction that feels pushy or prescriptive.

With three years of experience, Anna brings a calm, patient presence to each meeting. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings, including issues such as attachment, abandonment and communication problems. Practical topics like coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image and work-related stress are also part of her caseload.

Anna holds BACP, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration is mentioned as part of her professional background and signals alignment with common professional standards in the UK.

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens attentively, mirrors what is said, and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for matters such as low self-esteem, relationship uncertainty and emotional responses to past trauma.

That same client-first attitude shapes how therapy online can work. The counsellor aims to follow the client's pace, check in about what feels helpful, and adapt the style as needs change. Together they decide which ways of working suit the client's goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can offer practical benefits such as fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, or choosing quieter surroundings that help concentration. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and make it easier to include people who live farther away. Registered and accredited professionals can tailor the length and frequency of sessions to help therapy fit everyday life.
