About Anita
Anita Burton is a talking therapist based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on three years of professional experience to support people facing everyday and complex pressures. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and talks through relationship concerns and parenting stresses.
Anita also supports those working through low self-esteem, career decisions, addictions, grieving, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Clients bring issues such as sleep or eating problems, anger, and difficulties with intimacy. Anita uses several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions. She works with attachment issues and explores how past relationships affect present feelings.
She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s own goals at the heart of what happens in sessions. Her style is collaborative and respectful. Anita aims to create an equal, listening relationship and helps people name patterns that keep them stuck.
Conversations focus on practical steps alongside exploring deeper personal themes. People can expect a down-to-earth way of working that balances short-term problem solving with looking at longer-term patterns. Anita welcomes questions and explains how therapy might help, so someone new to talking therapy can feel more comfortable about taking the next step.

Online support
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities first and uses listening and reflection to help someone find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to clarify goals and build self-worth.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Anita will work with the client to decide whether to focus on attachment themes, use client-centred conversation, or bring in short-term solution-focused ideas. That choice is made together based on needs, goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people see face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, to continue support during relocations, and to try different ways of talking until a comfortable fit is found.
