About Anna
Anna Critsinelis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has worked in the field for 10 years. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and the process of coping with life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, gender dysphoria, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns and on client-centred methods that put the person’s experience at the heart of the work.
Anna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice their values and make choices that matter to them. Solution-focused work may be used when people want brief, goal-oriented sessions that emphasise what is already working. She adapts these approaches depending on the concern and the person’s preferences.
Sessions are conducted in English and Portuguese, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, so people should check the plan details before booking. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations aim to be clear and useful, helping people to make decisions about next steps rather than offering quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Anna often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and encourages small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical tools to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns and manage anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working that fits their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in between commitments, or let someone choose not to be on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor session length and frequency to practical needs so therapy can fit around daily responsibilities.
