About Anna
Counsellor Anna Geraghty is a member of NCPS with three years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing grief, anxiety, depression and other life changes. Anna also supports those dealing with stress, self-esteem issues, relationship strain, parenting pressures and career shifts.
Anna focuses on bereavement and end-of-life concerns while also helping people manage mood conditions such as bipolar and ADHD-related challenges. She has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual disability. Her background includes work with people navigating divorce, redundancy and retirement.
In sessions she follows person-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods. She listens to what matters most and uses practical steps to address immediate problems. Sessions often look at thoughts, small changes in behaviour and clear goals for the near future.
Anna aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She talks through options with each person and together they pick what helps most. Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit what someone can manage at the time.
If you are unsure whether to try counselling, Anna asks people to start by describing what’s most difficult right now. From there she helps set an initial plan and practical next steps. To begin, follow the site prompts to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first meeting.
Working online with client-centred, CBT and solution-focused methods
Anna uses client-centred practice to focus on the person’s own concerns. This approach means the conversation is led by what the individual says matters most and the counsellor reflects and clarifies to help understanding. It is useful for people who need space to talk through loss or big life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Anna uses straightforward CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and simple steps to move forward. It suits people who want practical ideas and quicker progress on specific problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss options with each person and agree what to try based on needs, goals and what feels manageable. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as the work progresses.
