Anna Zielinska, BACP

Anna Zielinska is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She works in English and Polish and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and clear. Anna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on three years of professional experience to support clients as they talk things through.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats the person in front of her as the expert in their own life and looks for each person’s existing strengths. Sessions focus on small, practical steps alongside open conversation, so people can try things between meetings and notice what helps.

Anna uses client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace and priorities. This approach is often useful for concerns about relationships, self-worth, anxiety and coping after trauma. She helps people name what matters most and practise responses that feel workable in daily life.

Her background includes experience supporting people through a wide range of issues, from chronic illness and caregiver stress to complex relationship and attachment difficulties. Anna aims to create a space where people can explore difficult feelings, test new ways of communicating, and build more steady routines for mental health.

People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Anna’s availability. The site subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and following the client’s priorities. This approach helps when people are sorting through relationship issues, low self-esteem, anxiety or the aftermath of trauma by creating space to tell their story and test new ways of coping.

Because Anna emphasises listening and collaboration, online sessions can focus on what the client wants to work on and move at the client’s chosen pace. Together they will decide which topics to tackle first and set practical steps to try between meetings. That collaborative planning is part of the therapeutic process and can change as goals shift.

If you’re considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when only a brief review is needed. It also gives options for people who prefer not to travel to appointments. The therapist will discuss what will work best for timing and session length so therapy fits into everyday life.
