About Aneka

Aneka Goulbourne offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and career strain. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and who want clearer ways to cope day to day. Aneka is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience.

Aneka creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what is on their mind. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.

Background and approach

She encourages small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life. She also supports people facing depression and life transitions. That might include work-related pressures, problems communicating with others, or dealing with feelings connected to abandonment and caregiving strain.

Aneka helps people identify useful coping strategies and realistic goals. Social anxiety, control issues and self-love are additional areas she addresses. Conversations can look at how beliefs about oneself shape choices and relationships, and how to try different behaviours to test new ways of relating.

Therapy may use discussions, reflective questions and supportive guidance to build confidence and resilience. Aneka works collaboratively, pacing the work to each person’s needs and preferences.

Focus areas and approaches

What Aneka works with

Everything Aneka lists, in their own terms.

Online support

Aneka uses evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding worries and trying practical changes. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and learn different ways of responding to stress and anxiety; this is useful for social anxiety, workplace pressure and low mood. Another approach emphasises small, practical steps to build confidence and day-to-day coping skills, which can help with self-esteem, motivation and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aneka works together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful for their goals and preferences. She adapts the pace and focus as sessions progress so the plan fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can fit around unpredictable schedules. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practise new skills between sessions.
