About Anita

NCPS. Anita Roy has eight years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD and grief. She also supports people facing career strain, parenting pressures, body image and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to sexual identity.

Anita uses a mix of practical counselling approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building coping strategies and practising new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Her style is described in straightforward terms in the source biography as interactive and integrative. Conversations aim to be collaborative, with goals set together and strategies developed that fit the person’s life. The emphasis is on exploring beliefs and behaviours that keep problems going and on building resilience.

Anita lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, codependency and dissociation. She also notes work around ageing, antisocial and avoidant personality features, dependent personality and disruptive mood regulation concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and Anita accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.

Therapeutic approaches used for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people understand trust, closeness and communication issues to improve how they relate to others.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works on linking thoughts, feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises and behavioural experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anita will discuss these methods with clients and agree on what to try based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative discussion helps shape session focus and homework tasks.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or parenting, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these benefits to help people maintain regular contact and practical progress between appointments.
