Anna Williamson is a bestselling author, counsellor, broadcaster and podcaster who uses her platform to educate, entertain and empower. Known for her warm personality and straight-talking insight, Anna is a leading voice in the mental health space and one of the most in-demand virtual keynote speakers on wellbeing, relationships and parenting. Her online talks are honest, relatable and backed by lived experience, delivered with the professionalism and charisma that first made her a household name on British television.
Anna began her career as a presenter on children’s TV shows for Channel 5’s Milkshake!, CITV and Nickelodeon, before moving into mainstream broadcasting. She became widely recognised for her work on ITV’s Daybreak, Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, and as an agony aunt on This Morning, where she offered relationship advice to a national audience. Her big break in reality TV came in 2019, when she joined E4’s Celebs Go Dating as a dating agent. Combining her qualifications as a counsellor and Master NLP Practitioner with her on-screen confidence, Anna guided celebrities through personal development and romantic compatibility in front of the cameras.
Away from TV, Anna has written four bestselling books. Her debut, Breaking Mad, tackled anxiety with clarity and humour, and was followed by Breaking Mum and Dad, How Not to Lose It, and Where is the Love?, all praised for their accessible, practical approach. She is also the co-host of LuAnna: The Podcast, a hugely popular show with over a million monthly downloads. The podcast’s live tour, LuAnna: The Big Night Out, sold out iconic venues across the UK, including the London Palladium. Anna is an ambassador for Mind and ChildLine, where she uses her platform to advocate for better mental health support and awareness.
As a virtual keynote speaker, Anna draws from both personal experience and professional expertise. Having battled anxiety and panic disorder for much of her life, she speaks candidly about the reality of mental health struggles and how she overcame them. Her online talks cover everything from stress and self-worth to parenting pressure and emotional resilience. With her warm style and media polish, Anna knows how to hold an audience’s attention – whether she’s speaking to five people or five hundred.
