About Anita
Anita Dhanecha uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy, and keeps conversations warm and straightforward. Anita aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression find clearer ways to cope. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Practical concerns such as sleeping, eating, and career stresses are covered alongside deeper experiences like trauma and attachment difficulties. Anita has five years' experience counselling people from diverse backgrounds across the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth rather than clinical or prescriptive. Sessions can include different techniques to match what a person needs that week. Anita listens first, then works with the person to decide how best to proceed, whether that means reflecting, exploring past patterns, or trying new ways of coping.
Her additional focus areas include chronic pain and illness, multicultural concerns, pregnancy and childbirth, self-harm, social anxiety and phobia, and compassion fatigue. Anita welcomes people who want a respectful, empathetic counsellor to help them navigate change and heal from difficult experiences.

Approaches Anita lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will listen to your concerns, discuss how these approaches could help, and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative step helps shape session goals and the techniques used week by week.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling fit daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for appointments around work, parenting or mobility needs and make it easier to keep continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
