About Anna

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. Anna works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as trauma, self-esteem and motivation.

She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. Anna listens and helps clients name what matters to them. Conversations cover practical ways to cope now and to make small, steady changes over time.

Anna often supports people dealing with midlife challenges, infidelity, cancer, and how culture, identity or religion shape feelings and choices. She also works with parenting concerns, grief, addictions and career stress, among other areas. The list of concerns she addresses includes body image, attachment difficulties and communication problems.

Her main methods include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches are used to explore thoughts and patterns and to try different ways of responding to difficulties.

Sessions aim to be conversational and practical. Anna helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try new strategies, while also attending to deeper emotional themes that come up. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How Anna uses approaches online

Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves open listening and reflecting back what is said so the person can clarify their own goals and feelings. This approach suits people who want a conversational, supportive way to understand what they are facing.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses specific exercises and changes in thinking to help reduce anxiety, manage stress and alter unhelpful patterns. CBT is practical and often involves trying new behaviours between sessions.

Hypnotherapy in Anna's practice involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help explore beliefs and responses that can feed anxiety or habit patterns. It can be used alongside talk-based work to support change in how someone thinks or behaves.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Anna will work with each person to choose which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion and may shift as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical advantages often include fitting sessions into a busy week and having appointments without travel. Some formats also make shorter check-ins easier or avoid needing to be on camera, which can help people manage nerves while still getting therapeutic support.
