About Anita
Anita Roy helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She supports people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions, grief and intimacy-related issues. Anita also works with concerns such as eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career uncertainty.
Anita practises with warmth and a conversational style. She uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what feels achievable between meetings.
How Anita works
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and a credential with NCPS. Anita draws on several therapy models to shape the work and adapts tools to each person's needs rather than sticking rigidly to one technique. In early sessions she listens, maps out what matters most and sets short-term goals with the person.
The work often includes skills for managing strong emotions, rethinking unhelpful patterns and building strategies for everyday life. Anita places importance on respect, sensitivity and a non-stigmatising approach. She invites people to bring their own priorities and pace to the sessions and supports gradual change through steady, practical steps.

Online support options
Working with ACT, Attachment ideas and CBT online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and move toward values-based choices; it is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and can help with intimacy issues, trust and repeating old patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought and behaviour cycles and is useful for mood difficulties, anxiety and skills-based work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Anita will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Together they will try approaches, review what helps most and adjust the plan as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are held. Video calls can recreate a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when less bandwidth is available, and live chat or text messaging can support quick updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists in a structured way.
