Anna Clifton , BACP

Anna Clifton is a UK-licensed therapist and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with five years of clinical experience supporting people through low mood, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement, stress, and anxiety.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual needs and circumstances. Anna works collaboratively with clients to identify clear goals and practical steps, helping them build coping strategies and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Recognising that taking the first step can feel daunting, she offers steady encouragement and a calm, nonjudgmental presence throughout the therapeutic process. Her work focuses on meeting people where they are, listening carefully, and shaping a plan that fits each person’s priorities and pace. Whether someone is navigating grief, relationship strain, or persistent low mood, Anna aims to provide thoughtful, compassionate support that is adapted to the unique situation of each client.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Support

Anna Clifton draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common strand of her work uses skills-focused approaches to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours - useful for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood. She also employs trauma-informed methods that prioritise safety, pacing, and emotional regulation while helping clients process difficult experiences and bereavement. Additionally, Anna integrates relationship-focused work that explores communication and attachment patterns to support people facing family and intimacy-related challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Anna works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, set goals, and choose methods that feel like the best fit for their situation and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while allowing sessions to fit into varied schedules and lives.
