About Anita
Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who combines attachment-based thinking with a person-centred way of working. She focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel heard. Her approach aims to help people understand their relationships and how past patterns shape current feelings.
Anita draws on different therapeutic techniques to match each person's needs. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to what the person brings. She helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief and depression in straightforward language.
How Anita works
She also supports people dealing with addictions, problems with intimacy, body image concerns and issues linked to parenting or family life. Practical worries such as sleeping difficulties, career strain and coping with life changes are within her scope. Anita has an interest in multicultural issues, prejudice and the impact these have on wellbeing.
Anita has five years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She offers help with post-traumatic stress, attachment issues, and compassion fatigue alongside self-harm and eating-related concerns. The focus is on steady, person-centred progress rather than quick fixes.

Attachment and Person-Centred Approaches Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Anita uses this to help people notice patterns in close relationships and to change unhelpful cycles. It can be useful for worry about intimacy, attachment issues and post-traumatic stress.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and strengths. Sessions are led by what the person brings, with the counsellor offering empathy and non-judgemental listening. This approach suits people coping with grief, anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor the way she works with each person. That collaborative process helps shape practical steps and what to try between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility across video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Text and chat suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
