Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as sleep and eating problems, low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy. Anita often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She combines that with Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding and helping people find their own solutions.

Together these approaches aim to make sense of emotional patterns and build practical ways to cope. Sessions can help people manage life changes like career shifts, parenting pressures, chronic illness, or the aftermath of trauma. Anita also pays attention to concerns around body image, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue.

Her work is adaptable, matching techniques to what each person brings to a session. She offers online formats and works with people in English. The emphasis is on collaboration - Anita helps people explore options and choose strategies that feel manageable.

She aims to support practical steps forward while holding a warm, non-judgemental space.

Attachment and Person-Centred Approaches Online

Online work with Anita draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and how those patterns show up in close relationships. It can be useful for people who notice repeating relationship difficulties, worry about closeness, or feel anxious in partnerships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the client find their own answers. This approach aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Anita treats it as a collaboration. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. If something does not fit, she adjusts the approach so sessions remain practical and focused on what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer typing to talking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
