About Anita
Anita Roy is a NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related issues including addiction, grief and self-esteem difficulties.
She uses plain, conversational sessions where clients talk about what is happening at home and at work. Anita listens for patterns in how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. Then she helps people test different ways of responding and notice what changes in everyday life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address unhelpful thinking and avoidant behaviour. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to focus on how early relationships shape present fears and choices. Sessions aim to combine practical steps with reflection about relational patterns.
Anita works collaboratively on goals such as reducing anxiety, improving confidence, managing anger, or finding clearer ways to parent during stressful times. She offers techniques for managing strong emotions and for changing routines that keep problems going.
She also supports people dealing with loss, intimacy-related worries, body image concerns and neurodiverse issues such as autism traits or ADHD. People who prefer a straightforward plan with room for reflection may find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How these approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It offers simple exercises to clarify values and take small steps that fit everyday life, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviours to see what works. It often uses short experiments and practical homework to reduce panic, low mood and repetitive worry.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. Talking about these patterns can help people change how they respond to conflict, intimacy worries or parenting stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and will adjust methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats were not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Many people choose remote sessions to fit therapy into a workday, to avoid travel, or to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing timing and format at the first appointment makes it easier to fit sessions into everyday life.
