About Anita
Counsellor Anita Dhanecha is a BACP member with five years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, grief and many life changes.
Anita uses a person-centred way of working. That means conversations focus on the person's own experience and perspective. She also draws on other techniques when they are helpful for the issue at hand.
She commonly supports people dealing with loss and bereavement, low mood, and difficulties with self-esteem. Relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues and trauma are also areas she helps people talk through. She lists attachment issues, body image and social anxiety among additional focuses.
Anita also works with practical problems such as sleep, eating concerns, parenting stress, career worries and coping with chronic illness or pain. She names multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination as matters she can address in sessions.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Anita listens for the person's priorities and adapts the approach as those priorities change. People who want to understand patterns in relationships or manage strong emotions often use her attachment-based and person-centred work.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How attachment and client-centred work translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect feelings and trust. Online sessions can help someone notice those patterns, practise new ways of relating and work through past hurts. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's viewpoint. The counsellor follows what matters most to the person and helps them speak about their experience without directing it.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That discussion guides whether to focus more on attachment patterns or on open, person-led conversations, and it can change over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can be useful for fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel and making it easier to join from different locations. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins when they have limited time, while others choose video meetings for a fuller conversational experience. These practical choices are discussed and decided together.
