About Anamika
Anamika Saggar is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also focuses on codependency, attachment and communication problems.
Her style draws on client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy, with elements of emotionally-focused and solution-focused work. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person. She aims to identify small, practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Anamika has worked within the Department for Work and Pensions alongside six years of private counselling practice. That mix of roles has informed how she helps people manage everyday pressures and life transitions. She uses clear language and straightforward tools rather than clinical jargon.
In a session she pays attention to relationship patterns such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. Conversations can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment experiences, and practising new ways of responding. Homework or short exercises may be offered to make changes feel manageable.
She offers appointments in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who struggle with closeness, fear of abandonment or repeated relationship roles by exploring those patterns and trying different responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what is said so a person can make sense of their experience and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours to identify small practical experiments that reduce anxiety and change unhelpful routines.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Anamika will discuss options with the person and agree what to try first based on their goals and preferences. She frames this as a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions are often useful for fitting therapy around work, childcare or travel. They can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid commuting, or choose a conversation style that suits the moment, such as a camera-on discussion or a quieter phone-style call. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical formats to help people keep therapy part of everyday life.
