About Anna

Anna Richardson is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and she draws on a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling as the foundation of her therapeutic work. She creates a calm, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore how past experiences, unconscious processes, and long-standing patterns shape current feelings and behaviours.

Together with each client, she looks for the emotional conflicts and unresolved issues that may contribute to anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection. Her psychodynamic orientation supports gentle exploration of underlying dynamics, while attention to attachment patterns helps illuminate how relationships and early bonds influence present-day responses.

Beyond her private practice, Anna contributes to the wider community through charity work with Devon Mind and previously with HCC, London’s oldest mental health charity. She has also worked with clients experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in private sector care homes, bringing experience of supporting people through complex and distressing experiences.

Attachment and Psychodynamic Care Delivered Online

Anna Richardson uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to guide her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds and relationship patterns influence current emotional responses - it can help people who struggle with closeness, trust, separation, or recurring relationship difficulties. Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious thoughts, recurring patterns, and past experiences to uncover underlying emotional conflicts that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or a sense of disconnection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anna works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review progress over time and adapt the focus as understanding deepens.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from different locations within the therapist’s service area, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on issues such as stress, relationships, trauma, or life transitions.
