About Anita
She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship worries. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career decisions, addictions, grief, and midlife questions. Anita pays attention to issues around attachment, body image, eating, sleeping and intimacy as part of her work.
Anita uses an integrative approach that draws on different therapies to match the person she is working with. Sessions are collaborative and based on an equal relationship where the client is treated with sensitivity and respect. Conversations aim to help people see their situation more clearly and build confidence to make changes.

Her style combines listening with gentle direction so people can find practical next steps. Anita believes in empowering clients to use their own insight and strengths while exploring patterns that may be holding them back.

How Anita’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy views patterns in close relationships and how they shape responses to stress. Online work using this approach can help people understand why they feel distant or anxious in relationships and practise new ways of connecting.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre and relies on warm, non-judgemental listening. When used online it creates space for someone to speak freely, be heard and build self-confidence at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anita will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She listens to preferences and adapts sessions so the plan feels manageable and relevant.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when they have limited bandwidth or need a quick support between commitments. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they match your needs. Online work can still focus on relationships, coping with life changes and building everyday strategies that help you move forward.
