About Anamika
Anamika Saggar is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting concerns, depression, family problems and trauma and abuse. Anamika speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients.
She uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based ideas and solution-focused techniques. In practice she listens carefully and helps people identify small, practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions often focus on communication, boundaries, feelings after loss, and coping with life changes.
Anamika has also worked within the Department for Work and Pensions while running private counselling for over six years. That mix of settings shapes a pragmatic approach that looks at what can change now. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment and codependency that affect relationships and parenting.
People frequently bring concerns about intimacy, anger, self-esteem or the fallout of infidelity and separation. She will help with problem solving, emotion regulation and rebuilding trust in everyday life. The work can include looking at upsetting memories as well as current patterns of interaction.
Sessions are conducted in the client’s preferred language when possible and the therapist describes her way of working as collaborative. To begin, clients follow the site matching process and book a first appointment to discuss goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns affect current relationships. It helps people notice recurring reaction styles and aims to shift how they relate to others and to themselves. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and on the client's own priorities, helping people to name feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and supports practical experiments to test new ways of coping.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences in the first sessions and suggest a mix of methods that feel useful. You and the therapist can review progress and adjust the plan as you go.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or more frequent conversations when life is hectic. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know whether video, phone or another option is offered. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt exercises, communication tasks and behavioural experiments to work well at a distance.
