Background and approach

Her experience includes helping people with relationship strain, parenting worries, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and difficulties with eating or sleeping. Career decisions, anger and coping with major life changes are commonly discussed topics.

Anita works with attachment-related concerns and abandonment issues, and she uses approaches that look at patterns in relationships and personal history. She also draws on solution-focused work to help people set manageable goals and make practical changes. People who choose Anita often want a conversational, human-centred style.

She invites questions and aims to put people at ease during early sessions. The focus is on building confidence, understanding patterns, and helping people feel more able to move forward.

How Anita's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns that form in close relationships. It looks at how early connections shape current trust, closeness and conflict, and can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the conversation. The therapist listens, reflects and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and self-direction, which can help with self-esteem, decision-making and feeling stuck.

Anita treats choice of approach as part of the work itself. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then agree together which way of working to try. That collaborative process is reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure it still fits the person's needs.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or when being on camera is not wanted. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and life commitments.
