About Aneka

Aneka Goulbourne helps people work through stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem difficulties, career problems and depression. She uses a direct, person-centred style that encourages honest discussion and practical steps. Aneka is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of experience.

Aneka invites clients to talk about what is happening day to day and what they would like to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and on small, manageable steps between appointments. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and looks for practical ways to try something different.

She also gives space to the emotional side of problems. That means naming feelings, thinking about how you cope, and considering how past experiences affect current choices. Practical tools and reflective conversation sit alongside each other in her work.

Aneka has particular experience with feelings of abandonment, caregiver stress, communication difficulties and control issues. She also supports people dealing with self-love, social anxiety and workplace concerns. This allows focused work on life areas that often build pressure over time.

Sessions are in English and delivered from the United Kingdom. Aneka’s practice is suited to people who want straightforward, task-focused counselling alongside emotional exploration. To begin, follow the site booking steps and complete the initial questionnaire so a first appointment can be arranged.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Aneka uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional awareness. One approach emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns and trying alternative behaviours to reduce stress and anxiety; this helps when small, regular changes can make daily life easier. Another approach concentrates on self-esteem and relational patterns, looking at how past experiences influence current self-image and communication, which can be useful for workplace issues and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what seems most useful in early sessions and adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried, reviewed and adjusted together.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people use therapy from a quieter environment or during a break at work without needing to rearrange their whole day.
