About Anamika
Counsellor and BACP member Anamika Saggar has 12 years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She offers counselling for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting concerns, depression, family problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Anamika works in a person-centred way and uses cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based ideas, emotion-focused work and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are conversational. She listens, helps people make sense of what is happening, and looks for practical steps they can try between meetings.
She also gives time to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and jealousy. Those areas are discussed in straightforward terms and explored at a pace chosen by the person in therapy.
Anamika combines many years in private counselling with experience working for a government department alongside her private practice. Her background informs a pragmatic approach that aims to balance emotional understanding with concrete change.
Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. People who live outside the UK can be seen; the counsellor accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical arrangements.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect feelings now. It can help people understand why they react strongly in relationships and practise different responses.Client-centred therapy is conversational and focuses on the person’s experience in the moment. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help people clarify their thoughts and feelings.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress and often includes small tasks to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please check the current options before you book. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family life, and can allow shorter check-ins or phone calls when that suits practical schedules.
