About Anita
Anita Roy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges and trauma-related concerns. She holds the NCPS credential and has eight years of clinical experience. Anita aims to help people find clearer ways to manage difficult feelings and everyday pressures.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. Anita listens first, then offers approaches that fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Anita draws on a mix of methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles. She adapts these tools to help with mood, self-esteem, addictions, grief and coping with life changes. Work in sessions usually begins with setting simple, achievable goals.
Anita then helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and build new habits. She emphasises collaboration and practical skills rather than labels. People can expect a supportive space to talk through concerns like intimacy, career stress, ADHD-related difficulties, compassion fatigue or bereavement.
Anita also offers help with issues such as body image, codependency and commitment worries. Her aim is to equip people with clearer ways to move forward.

How Anita’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns affect current relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating, which can aid intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, while phone calls can fit a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling-like exchanges or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
