About Anita

Anita Dhanecha works on stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions using an integrative, person-centred approach. She frames sessions around the client’s experience and draws on different techniques to suit individual needs. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

Anita places the person's perspective at the centre of sessions. She offers a calm, listening approach and invites people to talk through what is most important to them. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and on understanding patterns that affect relationships and daily life.

Her work supports people facing depression, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, family problems, and parenting strain. Other areas she addresses include sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career concerns, and coping with chronic illness or cancer.

Anita uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. She also draws on client-centred methods, which means she follows the person's pace and priorities in sessions. These approaches are used to explore trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress.

She works with issues around identity and sexuality, including LGBT concerns, and sees people dealing with isolation, social anxiety, and self-harm thoughts.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange their first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary depending on location.

How her approaches work in online counselling

A attachment-based approach looks at how early relationships influence current bonds and patterns. It helps people who struggle with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues or attachment problems by exploring how past experiences shape present feelings and reactions.

Client-centred therapy is built around the person's own perspective. The counsellor follows the client's pace, listens without judgement, and helps the client make sense of their thoughts and choices. This approach suits issues such as stress, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss different ways of working with each person and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be reviewed as sessions progress.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Depending on current session options, people may find it easier to attend from a quieter place, use fewer technical resources, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what will work best for you.
