About Anita
Anita Burton is a talking therapist who works from the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member and has three years' experience supporting people with a range of everyday pressures. Anita focuses on practical conversation and clear listening to help clients find more confidence and direction.
She often helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood and self‑esteem, and work-related pressure. Parenting concerns and relationship struggles are common topics she talks through.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and major life changes. Anita uses a mix of approaches that centre the client's experience. She draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and on psychodynamic thinking to make sense of past influences.
Solution-focused tools help break problems into manageable steps and Trauma-Focused Therapy is included when past hurt needs careful attention. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in respect. Anita treats people as the expert on their own life and helps them map what feels realistic next.
Conversations aim to increase practical choices, reduce overwhelm, and build day-to-day coping skills. People choosing to work with Anita can expect a calm, respectful tone and straightforward suggestions. She invites questions and keeps the focus on what matters to each person.
If parenting worries are part of the picture she will help explore what’s working and what could change next.

How Anita's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Anita uses it to help people notice repeating dynamics and try new ways of relating, which can help with parenting and close relationships.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding from the client's point of view. Sessions aim to create a respectful space where people can make sense of their feelings and decide what changes they want to try.
Psychodynamic ideas help uncover how past experiences influence present choices and emotions. This approach can be useful when someone feels stuck or keeps repeating unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss options and tailor methods based on personal goals, current difficulties and preferences. The choice of approach is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth, live chat can be a quick way to check in, and text messaging supports shorter ongoing contact. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel and to continue therapy from different places.
