About Anna
Anna Zielinska is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Polish and supports international clients. Anna frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s experience is central to change.
Her approach starts by listening without judgment. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life and works to build understanding and safety. Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the client and on small, realistic steps that can reduce distress in daily life.
Anna uses client-centred methods to follow the client’s pace and concerns. This means the conversation is shaped around the client’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda. The aim is to help people feel heard, to clarify what matters to them, and to try practical ways of coping that fit their life.
Clients bring a wide range of difficulties, from ongoing health conditions and chronic pain to issues around attachment, communication and identity. Anna has experience supporting people who describe complicated life histories, including abandonment, caregiving strain, cancer, and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Her professional registration is BACP, which appears after her name as a record of that credential. With three years of practising experience, Anna focuses on steady, person-led work rather than quick fixes. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions to match their schedules.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what the client says, asks gentle questions to clarify feelings, and supports the client to find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and the emotional impact of long-term health challenges.Because the work centres on the client’s experience, the therapist and client decide together which way of working fits best. That might mean trying different session rhythms, focusing on short practical goals, or spending more time exploring feelings. The therapist will help the client and counsellor find the best fit based on goals, needs and preferences in a collaborative way.
Practical benefits of online therapy are about fitting sessions into everyday life. Online work can make scheduling easier around work, caregiving or medical appointments and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or conversations without being on camera when that helps the client feel more comfortable. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to ensure the delivery method suits your needs and routine.
