About Anna

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and membership of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She works with adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps people facing life changes and issues around intimacy, parenting, grief, addiction and trauma.

Anna aims for straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens and helps people name what feels hard. Clients can expect practical conversation about patterns, feelings and everyday choices rather than long clinical lectures.

Her background includes work with relationship strain, infidelity and family conflict. She is attentive to how culture, identity and religion can shape someone’s experience. This perspective often informs discussions about belonging, commitment and communication.

Anna uses a mix of approaches and draws on different methods to suit the person in front of her. Sessions may look at thoughts and behaviours, explore deeper personal history, or include relaxation and guided imagery techniques when helpful.

She commonly supports people dealing with career pressure, low self-esteem, anger and challenges around caregiving or chronic illness. There is also experience helping those affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment and attachment difficulties.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Anna works in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are arranged through a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you find your own direction, which can be useful for relationship and identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and work-related stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as those needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session logistics should fit into everyday life. The original biography does not specify which online formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study or shifts, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical for busy schedules.
