About Anita
Anita Dhanecha is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and a wide range of life changes that often affect young adults. Anita uses a person-centred way of working while drawing on other approaches to suit individual needs.
She typically starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions aim to clarify what is causing pressure, what patterns keep repeating, and what small steps might make things feel more manageable. Anita places emphasis on the relationship in the room and on practical ways to respond to everyday problems.
Her practice covers concerns common in early adulthood, such as struggling with career choices, coping after leaving education, difficulties with relationships and issues around identity and self-esteem. She also helps people with loss, trauma and problems that affect sleep, eating and concentration.
Anita often works from attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships affect current feelings and choices. She also uses client-centred principles to keep discussions focused on the person's own experience and priorities. These approaches are woven together rather than used as strict protocols.
Sessions can include talking through recent events, reflecting on patterns from the past, and trying out different ways to cope day to day. People who meet her usually come for practical support with real-life pressures as well as exploring deeper emotional themes.
Attachment and client-centred work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling. Online sessions can use this approach to identify patterns in relationships, attachment needs and reactions to stress.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's present experience and aims to make sessions responsive to what they want to talk about. This approach is useful for sorting through life decisions, low mood, self-esteem and identity questions common in early adulthood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques to use, based on their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps and adapting the focus over time.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around study or work, keeping check-ins shorter when life is busy, and avoiding travel time. The exact session formats on offer are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt session length and timing to make therapy fit everyday life without claiming a specific outcome.
