Background and approach

She also offers help for trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person. Anita prefers a collaborative style.

She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and works alongside them to make sense of patterns and choices. Conversations are built on listening, empathy and an equal therapeutic relationship. Practically, Anita blends approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred care and trauma-focused ideas to suit each person.

She aims to help people feel more confident, clearer about their goals, and better able to cope with change. If someone has questions before starting, Anita encourages them to ask. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients who choose video, phone, chat or text formats.

How Anita uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape feelings today. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns and practise different ways of relating when they discuss real-life situations. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work and relies on empathic listening and acceptance; this approach helps when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to talk things through. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how distressing events affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour and aims to reduce their hold over daily life by working through memories and reactions at the person’s pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Anita will discuss options with each person and try methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She sees therapy as a team process and will adjust the approach as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and feel more connected. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic goals.
