About Anita
Anita Roy is a counsellor registered with NCPS with eight years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD and issues around identity and intimacy. Anita also supports people facing career pressures, grief, body image and parenting strains.
Her style is practical and interactive. She listens and helps people identify patterns that cause distress. Together they set small, clear goals and try out different strategies in session. Anita uses talk-based methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot thinking habits and test new behaviours. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used alongside skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotional regulation is needed.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve next. Anita supports people to build new coping tools and to make decisions about relationships, work or study. She also helps with recovery after abuse and with relapse prevention for addictions.
Anita welcomes people exploring identity and sexual orientation issues, and she will discuss practical next steps for career or study transitions. International clients who speak English can be considered. Before booking, readers should confirm the session formats Anita is offering at that time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck while deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect trust and intimacy, which can be useful for relationship and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, attachment work or a mix will be most useful.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking because the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or travel and to hold brief check-ins when time is tight. It can also allow sessions without needing to commute, which helps with routine and consistency. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and skills training for remote sessions so practical homework and skills practice still form part of the work.
