About Anita

Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who bases her practice on Client-Centred Therapy. She begins sessions by listening closely and creating a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. Her approach centres on empathy and respect, and she adapts methods to match each person’s needs.

She draws on a range of therapeutic techniques rather than a single method. That means conversations can include reflective listening, exploring feelings about events, and practical ways to cope with day-to-day stress. Anita aims to help people who feel stuck by working at a comfortable pace.

Many people come to her for help with grief, anxiety, stress and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, addictions and trauma-related difficulties. Anita pays attention to how attachment and early relationships can shape current patterns.

Her background includes five years of practice and professional recognition with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses that experience to offer steady, person-focused sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Anita asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match with a suitable plan and to schedule sessions according to availability.

Client-Centred and Attachment-Based Support Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. It involves careful listening, reflecting feelings back, and helping people make sense of their own choices. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem issues and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. It can help people understand recurring relationship difficulties, trust issues, and how they respond to stress in connections with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs and goals and together decide which methods suit best. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan can shift as progress or new issues appear.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also makes ongoing work possible for people who live abroad or who find it simpler to schedule remote appointments. Registered and accredited professionals offer similar online support while adapting pace and techniques to each person's situation.
