About Anna

Anna Zielinska is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Anna speaks English and Polish and accepts international clients.

Anna keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and asks clear questions to clarify values, patterns and difficult choices. Sessions move at a practical pace so people can try things between meetings and notice what helps.

Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy. That means she listens for how someone already copes, and helps them widen those options. Conversations may cover boundaries, communication, and how past experiences affect current relationships. Codependency and people-pleasing are common themes she supports people to untangle.

Anna also works with more specific concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment fears, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress. She will help map out where stress, moods or relationship habits are coming from and look for small, realistic changes to reduce strain.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. People can expect direct reflections, practical questions and gentle challenges when needed. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.

How sessions work

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters to the client. It helps people clarify choices, notice coping habits and decide on small changes. This approach suits issues like anxiety, relationship patterns, low self-esteem and responses to past trauma because it starts from the person’s own experience.

In practice, Anna will treat finding the right way of working as a shared task. She will ask about your goals, what has helped before, and how you prefer to talk. Together you will try approaches and check what feels useful, then adjust pace and focus as needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time, choose shorter check-ins when needed, or use audio-only calls when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these practical benefits to help clients maintain regular sessions while managing everyday demands.
