Accessible counselling that centres your experience
About Anita
Anita Dhanecha offers counselling that centres on the person rather than the problem. She uses a client-centred approach alongside attachment-based ideas to create a warm, accepting space. Anita speaks plainly and meets people where they are.
She adapts her way of working to the issue you bring. That can mean listening deeply, reflecting feelings, or using focused conversations to make sense of a difficult time. Common concerns she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Anita has five years of practice and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her professional membership with a UK counselling body. She also supports people facing addiction, eating and sleep problems, and career or life-purpose questions. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, and multicultural concerns.
Her approach suits people coping with major life changes such as pregnancy and childbirth, cancer, bereavement, or recovery from trauma and abuse. She also works with those experiencing social anxiety, isolation, or discrimination and prejudice. Sessions aim to help people find practical ways forward while also honouring feeling and loss.
Anita encourages clients to name what matters, try small changes, and notice progress over time. She invites a collaborative pace so each person sets the goals and decides how to move ahead.

How Anita's approaches work online
Attachment-based work pays close attention to patterns of relating that began in earlier relationships. Online conversations can help people notice attachment habits, how they show up in relationships now, and try new ways of connecting. This approach can be useful for those dealing with intimacy, loss, or trauma-related trust issues.Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and the client's own goals. The therapist follows what the person says and helps them clarify thoughts and feelings. This style suits people facing stress, anxiety, life transitions or decisions who want a supportive, non-directive space.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Anita will discuss the methods that might help and adjust them to each person's needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to agree a plan together and review it as work progresses.
Online therapy with Anita is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls use less bandwidth and work well for a quick check-in. Live chat or messaging can fit around shifts or parenting and are useful for short reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to attend regularly and keep momentum when life is busy.
