About Anna
Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) registration and has five years of professional experience. Anna aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what’s troubling them.
Her approach begins with listening. She helps people name their concerns and work out practical steps forward. Many clients come for stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and issues tied to trauma or abuse.
How Anna works
She also supports people facing life changes, parenting pressures, grief and problems with intimacy and self-esteem. Anna pays attention to how culture, identity and background shape feelings and choices. She is interested in midlife challenges, infidelity, cancer-related distress, and adoption and foster care matters.
This interest shapes how she listens and the questions she asks in sessions. Her work draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural approaches, hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on clear goals, gentle exploration of difficult feelings, and simple tools to manage day-to-day stress.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are conducted in English and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches you can try online and how they help
Anna uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person’s experience. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, asks open questions and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and self-awareness. It is useful for people who want a space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small practical experiments to change them. It tends to suit people looking for clear strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviours. Hypnotherapy is used alongside talking work to help access relaxed states and support change in habits, motivation or confidence when appropriate.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest ways of working that fit the person’s needs. If something doesn’t feel helpful, they will adjust the plan together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be lighter on data and easier when on the move. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs.
