Anuja Sivakumaran

Anuja Sivakumaran is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on relationship and women's issues. She works with people dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, depression and family conflict. Anuja aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can begin to make meaningful changes.

She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Anuja adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are designed around the concerns a person brings and the goals they want to reach.

In sessions she prioritises clear, practical steps alongside listening and validation. She helps people untangle issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, guilt and shame, and difficulties with sexuality or social anxiety. She also supports those coping with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and feelings of isolation.

Anuja describes therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages people to notice small changes and build skills that help day-to-day life. The emphasis is on steady progress and on empowering clients to make choices that suit their values.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Anuja uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Anuja draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine listening with practical exercises. One approach focuses on exploring relationships and attachment patterns to help people understand how early connections shape current interactions and feelings. This can be useful for people who struggle with abandonment fears, communication problems or repeating relationship patterns.

Another strand targets trauma-related responses and anxiety, using structured conversations and coping strategies to reduce the impact of intrusive memories, panic attacks or post-traumatic stress symptoms. These methods break down problems into manageable steps and teach practical skills for everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on what to try first based on a person’s concerns, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans can be adjusted as progress is observed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel. They also let people meet a counsellor from their local area without extra commuting, and they offer straightforward ways to continue regular check-ins and skill practice between sessions.
