About Anna Critsinelis

Anna Critsinelis brings more than 10 years of professional experience supporting people who are navigating stress, depression, anxiety, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. She recognises that reaching out for therapy can feel difficult, and she aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions without pressure.

Working collaboratively, Anna focuses on building resilience and practical strategies to help clients feel more in control and clearer about next steps. Whether someone is addressing a specific concern or seeking general clarity during a life transition, she tailors the work to the individual so that their needs remain central to the therapeutic process.

Her training includes a postgraduate qualification in psychodynamic practice and further training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred therapy, and solution-focused therapy. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and with the BPS - the British Psychological Society - organisations that represent professional standards in counselling and psychology in the UK. Anna combines this training with a compassionate, collaborative style to support clients through change and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most to them and to develop practical steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and navigating big life changes by focusing on action that aligns with personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress and then developing strategies to shift those patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and building practical coping skills for everyday challenges.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and personal growth and can be especially helpful for issues around self-esteem and relationship patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to connect from different locations, and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable at any given time. Registered professionals can adapt their techniques effectively across these formats to support meaningful change.
