About Anna

Anna Zielinska is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who supports men with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She speaks English and Polish and approaches therapy with respect and openness. Anna believes people know their own story and aims to work alongside them to find what helps.

Anna uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person's experience in the room. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice patterns that make life harder. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what matters most to the client.

Her background includes three years practising as a counsellor and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

In early sessions she helps clients set practical goals and decide what they want to change. She supports people to try small steps between sessions and to review what is working. Therapy can cover everyday stresses as well as deeper issues such as past hurt or attachment difficulties.

Anna also has experience working with concerns including abandonment, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, communication problems and aspects of neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where men can talk through pressures and explore new ways of coping.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears and follows the client's pace. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship concerns by making space for the person to find their own solutions rather than imposing a set plan.

In practice, Anna aims to build a collaborative relationship where choices about approach are worked out together. She will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods as goals and needs change. Finding the right way of working is part of the process, and she encourages open feedback from the client throughout therapy.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. It also makes access simpler for people living abroad, since international clients are accepted. The focus will remain on clear communication, manageable goals and practical steps that fit into everyday life.
