Anna Stillwell , BACP

Anna Stillwell is a qualified integrative therapist who specializes in supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. With three years of clinical experience, she blends a humanistic, person-focused stance with practical skills drawn from different therapeutic models to tailor support to each person's needs and goals.

Her practice emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a cornerstone of change - she aims to build a genuine, respectful connection that places the person first and the role of therapist second.

How Client-Focused and Solution-Oriented Therapy Works Online

Anna draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and the person’s own experience - the therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding and helps the client explore feelings and values, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and processing life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and strengths that lead to change. Rather than dwelling on problems, it helps clients set clear goals and build on what is already working, which can be useful for managing stress, improving communication and making concrete life or career changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains focused and relevant.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled around work or family commitments and delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. This accessibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different formats until a comfortable fit is found.
