About Anna

Anna Zielinska is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She uses a client-focused way of working that centres on each person's strengths and experiences. Anna speaks English and Polish and is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Anna works in a practical, down-to-earth style. She believes people know their own story and helps them notice what already works. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping clients try different ways of coping with problems. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person's needs.

Her background includes three years of professional experience in counselling. During that time she has supported people with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems. She also works with issues that arise alongside long-term illness, caregiving stress and ageing. Anna keeps therapy focused on what a person wants to change in their life.

Client-Centred Therapy shapes much of her work. That approach means the client leads the topics and the counsellor follows with empathy and non-judgemental feedback. Together they map out small, achievable steps to try between sessions. Anna aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to think things through.

If someone is interested in starting, they use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire. Sessions are scheduled according to the counsellor's availability and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred Work Fits Online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's views and goals at the centre. In practice this means the counsellor listens with empathy, reflects what they hear, and follows the client's lead. This approach is often helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and processing past abuse.

The counsellor's role is to create space for people to make sense of their own experiences. Anna will work collaboratively to find what feels most useful, suggesting small actions to try between sessions and checking in about what helps. Choosing the right way of working is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. It can also let someone choose a shorter phone or video check-in when that suits their day. Registered and accredited professionals commonly adapt session length and scheduling to meet practical needs, and Anna will work with each person to arrange sessions that fit their routine.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
