Anna Antoniou
Compassionate counsellor for life transitions
About Anna
Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience and is a registered member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society). Anna offers a calm, accepting presence to help people begin difficult conversations and make small changes that matter.
Anna focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns and recovery from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how culture, identity and background shape each person’s experience. Her way of working is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to help people feel heard rather than analysed, and to build practical steps they can try between meetings.
She draws on approaches such as client-centred listening and psychodynamic thinking to explore patterns from the past. When someone needs tools for current problems, Anna uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help break unhelpful thoughts and routines. She also offers hypnotherapy as an option for people who find guided, focused work helpful for change.
People come to Anna for help with midlife concerns, infidelity, cancer-related issues, blended family tensions, abandonment and attachment struggles. She supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and career-related worries. Her practice is approachable and practical for people ready to take the next step.
To begin a working relationship Anna listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels safe while trying new ways of coping and relating.

How Anna uses talking therapies online
Anna uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means she listens carefully and follows each client's pace, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. It is useful for people who want empathetic support as they navigate life changes.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to tackle current problems with practical tools. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties. Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional option for those who respond well to guided relaxation and focused suggestion to support change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will talk through options and decide together with the client which methods to try based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy with Anna is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around life and work. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less data and suit shorter check-ins, and messaging can work for people who prefer writing or need brief, ongoing support between meetings.
