Anamika Saggar, BACP

Anamika Saggar is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and midlife changes. She uses straightforward, conversational support and listens closely so clients feel heard. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu to suit different backgrounds.

Anamika works in a person-centred way, starting from what each person brings to the room. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments. Solution-focused ideas are part of her work too, helping people spot what is already working and build on it.

Her practice includes addressing trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns and family difficulties. She supports people coping with major life shifts, as well as issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image and codependency. Conversations are shaped around the client’s priorities and pace.

Anamika has experience alongside employment at a government department while maintaining private counselling for more than six years. She describes herself as an active listener who adapts the plan to each person’s needs. Respect, sensitivity and compassion are central to how she works.

People who choose her often want a practical, down-to-earth approach with a focus on small changes. She aims to empower clients to make decisions that feel right for their lives, and to support them through the steps toward those changes.

How Anamika’s approaches translate to online counselling

Anamika uses person-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online conversations. Person-centred work means the focus stays on the client’s experience and priorities, while the counsellor listens, reflects and helps clients find their own next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes to see what helps with anxiety, low mood and stress.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas that look for existing strengths and small successes to build on. Finding the best approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor and client review what helps, try different ways of working and adapt as goals and needs become clearer.

Confirm the exact session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or shorter sessions when that suits their day. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical arrangements so therapy fits into everyday life.
