About Anita

Anita Roy is a counsellor with NCPS credentialing and eight years of experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related problems. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, addiction, grief, self-esteem and changes after major life events.

Anita takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions. She listens without judgement and works with each person to set practical goals. Conversations focus on recognising patterns, trying new ways of coping and building everyday routines that reduce overwhelm.

Her work draws on several well-established methods, including cognitive approaches and person-centred ways of relating. Anita adapts interventions to what the individual finds most helpful rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. The tone in sessions is collaborative and direct, with attention to what fits into a client’s life.

People who want clear strategies and a respectful, steady counsellor often choose her. She aims to help clients increase resilience and find calmer ways to move through difficult moments. Anita encourages small, manageable steps that add up to meaningful change.

Her practice includes support for concerns such as ADHD, eating difficulties, intimacy issues, parenting strain and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She welcomes people who want to talk through painful experiences and work toward recovery and clearer direction.

How Anita’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be useful when difficulties in close relationships are a major concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. That choice can change over time as progress is assessed and new priorities emerge.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during breaks. It also lets people use therapeutic tools and worksheets at home and practise new skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt exercises and pacing so sessions remain practical and focused, even when conducted remotely.
