Anita Roy, NCPS

Anita Roy is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain and career uncertainty. Anita holds NCPS as a credential and practises in the United Kingdom. Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on what feels most useful to the person in front of her, with practical steps and space to talk through painful experiences. Anita aims to treat people with respect and without stigmatising labels. Anita blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on client-centred techniques to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s experience. Attachment-based thinking helps when intimacy or trust is a concern. In meetings she and the client set clear goals together. They then develop strategies that fit everyday life, such as behavioural experiments, emotion regulation skills and small changes to routines. Sessions are framed as collaborative work rather than one-sided advice. Anita has eight years of experience working in clinical settings. That time includes supporting people after abuse, those living with ADHD, and people navigating major life changes. Her aim is to help people build resilience, notice unhelpful patterns and make steady progress toward their goals.

How Anita's approaches translate to online therapy

The profile shows Anita uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that matter despite difficult feelings; it can help with anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of relating and trust, which can be useful for intimacy issues and relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, offering an empathic space to talk and make sense of things.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Anita aims to work with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress is made. That collaborative process means the therapy plan can change if something else would serve the person better.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, travel or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to use tools such as worksheets or breathing exercises during a meeting.
