About Anita

Anita Roy is a counsellor with NCPS credential, based in the United Kingdom, and has eight years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, grief, parenting pressures, anger and related issues. Anita also supports people facing eating concerns, intimacy issues, career changes, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Her sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She uses a mix of practical tools and reflective talk to identify patterns that keep problems cycling. People can expect to talk through recent incidents, long-standing difficulties and how everyday habits affect mood and responses.

Anita draws on several established approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs. She integrates acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour work. These methods inform how she plans steps and practices between sessions.

In practice she and the client set clear goals and try concrete strategies together. That can mean learning skills to notice triggers, practising new ways of responding, and testing small changes in day-to-day life. Sessions aim to make coping more manageable and to reduce the frequency of angry outbursts or overwhelm.

She works in English and is open to international clients. Costs vary with location, and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It often focuses on values and small committed steps that fit the life someone wants to lead, which can help with anger that stems from frustration or unmet expectations.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to try new responses when anger arises, useful for workplace irritation or repeated arguments.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current reactions. It can help someone understand why they respond strongly in close relationships and learn different ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This means testing techniques and checking progress together rather than moving straight to a single fixed method.

If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online work can make fitting therapy around a job and family life easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for remote meetings so practical skill-building continues between sessions.
