About Anita
Anita adapts techniques to suit each person rather than using a single fixed method. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to support issues that affect relationships, self-worth and everyday coping. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and progress at a comfortable pace.
People come to Anita for help with stress and anxiety, low mood and grief, or struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. She also works with concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life changes. Additional areas include body image, chronic illness and multicultural concerns.
Her practice includes supporting LGBT concerns, parenting-related stress and compassion fatigue, as well as anger and social anxiety. Anita aims to help people find practical ways to manage symptoms and rebuild a sense of control in daily life.
With five years of experience in the United Kingdom, Anita aims to create a calm space for people to talk through hard things. She invites people to explore what they want to change and to build steps toward those goals together.
How attachment and person-centred approaches work online
Anita uses a person-centred foundation that prioritises empathy and listening. This means sessions focus on the person's experience, with the therapist reflecting and supporting the individual's own insights and choices.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. This approach can help when patterns of closeness, trust or emotional safety are causing distress in relationships or in how someone copes with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques best match their needs and goals. This is a shared process that can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether someone needs a shorter check-in during a work break or prefers not to travel to appointments. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are important practical considerations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversation styles to suit remote sessions while helping clients work towards clearer coping strategies and relationship understanding.
