About Aneka

Aneka Goulbourne offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or workplace strain. She helps clients who are struggling with confidence, motivation, career uncertainty and life changes. Aneka uses clear, practical conversation to help people take small steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Aneka works from a belief that seeking help is a brave first move. She creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they think and feel.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and finding realistic ways forward. With three years of experience, Aneka brings practical skills to sessions rather than jargon. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try different ways of reacting or planning.

That might include looking at how workplace issues, control worries or past abandonment experiences shape current feelings. Aneka also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, social anxiety and self-love difficulties. Conversations are paced to suit each person and aim to build confidence and clearer decision making over time.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with people in the United Kingdom. Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging depending on the person’s needs and preferences.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Aneka uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasises problem-solving and planning to manage stress, workplace pressures and life transitions in a step-by-step way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Aneka will talk with each person about their goals, worries and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is checked regularly so the approach can be adjusted if something is not helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer short, written exchanges or want to fit support around a busy day. These formats make it easier to access a registered or accredited professional without travel, and they help people maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
