About Anna

Counsellor and BACP member Anna Zielinska has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and international clients are accepted.

Anna uses a client-centred approach. She focuses on helping people talk through what matters to them. The emphasis is on listening and reflecting to help people understand their feelings and choices better.

In practice she helps with a wide range of concerns linked to relationships and personal distress. This includes abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and the effects of cancer.

Anna works with people who describe anxiety, low mood and difficulties in relationships. She also has experience with issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, personality concerns, codependency and commitment worries. Her work addresses the psychological impact of trauma and abusive experiences.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Anna aims to create clear and steady meetings where practical options and personal reflection are both part of the work. Clients are encouraged to set goals and review progress as therapy continues.

Client-centred work and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers reflection and gentle questioning so people can make sense of their feelings. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, relationship problems and the emotional effects of trauma.

The best approach is worked out together. Anna will explore a client's goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. That collaborative process shapes the ongoing work rather than one fixed method being applied from the start.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy life because it reduces travel and can be scheduled around work or caring commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins easier and allow someone to choose whether to use video or a different connection, depending on their needs. Many people find this helps keep therapy practical and consistent while they balance other responsibilities.
