About Anita
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy while adapting techniques to each person’s needs. She focuses on listening first, then tailoring ways of working to match what feels most useful. That might include talking through painful memories, noticing patterns in relationships, or practising new ways to cope with overwhelming feelings.
Anita’s five years of experience inform a calm and steady style in sessions. She aims to create space for people to reflect and to try practical steps between meetings. The work often covers life transitions, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with long-term conditions such as chronic pain or illness.
The counsellor also supports people dealing with addiction, ADHD-related struggles, eating and sleeping problems, and workplace stress or compassion fatigue. Multicultural concerns, experiences of prejudice, and LGBT issues are included among the areas she addresses. Anita accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

How attachment and person-centred work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how these shape feelings and reactions. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and practise different responses to reduce repeated conflict or distress.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapist offering empathy and acceptance while the person leads the pace and topics. In online sessions this approach supports people to explore what matters to them, and to set goals that feel realistic for daily life.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to a person’s history, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that best fit. Working together, they can adjust methods over time if something is not helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It can also be easier to attend when quiet surroundings are available or when video is not preferred due to bandwidth or comfort. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists can adapt sessions to match practical needs and life schedules.
