About Anita
Anita Roy is a NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years’ experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and codependency among other concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues and career difficulties.
Anita uses clear, practical talk in sessions. She helps people name the patterns that drain them, such as people-pleasing or losing themselves for someone else. Sessions focus on small, usable steps - setting boundaries, spotting triggers, and practising different ways of responding.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural tools alongside acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based thinking. That means she will work on changing unhelpful thoughts, noticing values and choices, and looking at how early relationship patterns affect current choices.
In the first meetings she aims to map what matters most to the client and set realistic short-term goals. Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented. She uses practical exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments when they suit the aim.
Anita has experience with a wide range of additional concerns including ADHD, body image, abandonment issues and dissociation. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and those affected by different forms of abuse. International clients can be seen and sessions are conducted in English.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. Online sessions can focus on short exercises and homework that build value-driven choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical tools like thought records and behavioural experiments that are easy to use between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and setting boundaries. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss different methods and decide with the client which tools to try first. That collaborative decision is based on the client’s goals, current struggles and what feels most helpful in practice. Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a week - for example a shorter phone check-in can slot into a lunch break, or a video session allows face-to-face conversation without travel time. These practical options can help keep momentum between sessions and make it simpler to try behavioural tasks or homework as part of everyday life.Areas of focus
