About Anuja
Anuja Sivakumaran is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, and issues around attachment and abandonment.
She frames sessions as practical conversations. She listens to what matters most and helps people identify small, manageable changes. Sessions focus on improving communication, reducing distress from past events, and building confidence in everyday situations.
Her background includes work with a range of clients on trauma, relationship strain and mood concerns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts language so it is straightforward and accessible. The aim is clear steps rather than abstract theories.
In meetings she pays attention to how past relationships affect current patterns. That can mean talking through difficult memories, practising ways to speak up, or exploring feelings of guilt and shame. She also assists people considering questions of life purpose and sexuality.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Many evidence-based techniques focus on thoughts, behaviour and relationships. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical ways to test and change them; these methods can help with panic, low mood and social anxiety. Approaches that address trauma concentrate on processing distressing memories and reducing their impact on daily life, often through paced conversations and coping skills.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that fit the person's goals and comfort level. Decisions about technique are collaborative and may change as sessions progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to maintain continuity between appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without needing to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical skills are still practised between meetings.
