About Anita
Anita Roy is a NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and a wide range of related concerns including relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and mood difficulties.
Her approach is interactive and practical. Sessions focus on identifying the patterns that make everyday life harder, and on building small, usable skills to manage strong feelings. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the person in front of her.
Anita draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts, avoidance and rumination. She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to look at how relationships and past experiences shape current reactions.
People come with a wide range of issues, from grief, parenting strain and career stress to difficulties with intimacy, addictions or neurodiversity-related concerns. Anita aims to make practical plans for coping and for moving through difficult moments with clearer steps and measurable strategies.
Sessions begin with a focused conversation about goals and what a person hopes to change. From there, Anita and the client work together on tools and experiments to test what helps. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted as needed.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Anita commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with social worry and avoidance. ACT works with values and small committed actions to reduce the grip of anxiety and make life feel more meaningful.She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. These approaches help when relationship patterns or attachment concerns are part of the problem. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - Anita will work with the client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as session formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to use behavioural experiments between sessions and to practice skills in real-life settings.
