Anna Conway-Cowin , BACP

Anna Conway-Cowin is a qualified Gestalt counsellor who brings warmth and empathy to the therapeutic relationship. She recognises how difficult it can be to reach out for support and aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can be listened to and genuinely heard. Her work focuses on personal growth and practical ways to manage the challenges people face in daily life, with an emphasis on helping clients feel more whole and grounded.

She has supported many people affected by abuse, depression, anxiety and stress, guiding them through recovery and toward greater safety and integration. Anna works with clients from all age groups and a wide range of backgrounds, including those with corporate experience, and approaches each person as an individual rather than a set of symptoms.

Anna is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which means she follows the profession's recognised ethical framework. As a Gestalt practitioner she pays attention to the connection between emotional experience and physical sensation, exploring how thoughts, feelings and behaviours fit together. This whole-person perspective aims to identify and release blocks that limit how clients move through their lives, helping them develop clearer self-awareness and more constructive ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and perspective, offering a non-directive, empathetic stance that helps people explore their feelings and values. It is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and general life transitions because it supports self-understanding and personal growth.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events by helping clients process distressing memories and develop healthier coping strategies. This approach can be especially helpful for those working through abuse, sexual assault or other traumatic experiences, as it prioritises safety and gradual integration of difficult material.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan and allows adjustments over time as progress is made.

Online sessions offered by licensed professionals - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
