About Anita

Anita Roy is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, parenting pressures and issues around self‑esteem. Anita works with a broad range of concerns including grief, career worries, intimacy questions and body image, and she accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

Anita takes a warm and interactive approach in sessions. She aims to build trust quickly and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Conversations are collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps people spot the unhelpful thoughts and habits that get in the way.

Her practice draws on several ways of working, including cognitive behavioural ideas and client‑centred methods, plus approaches that focus on attachment and acceptance. She adapts what she uses to fit each person rather than following a one‑size‑fits‑all plan. Sessions are practical and aim to link thoughts and everyday habits to real life steps.

Anita says the client’s voice matters in planning therapy. Together they set goals and try out strategies that feel doable. The focus is on small changes that build resilience and help people cope with life shifts and setbacks.

She holds the NCPS credential and brings eight years of clinical experience. Conversations are framed simply so a worried parent or busy professional can understand what will happen in sessions before committing to more work together.

How Anita’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without fighting them and to move in the direction of their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and for making everyday changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and focuses on practical experiments to shift habits and symptoms. It can help with anxiety, depression and patterns that keep returning. Attachment‑Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can be helpful for relationship worries and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into daily life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check‑in sessions around work breaks and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered for meetings.
