About Anaisa
Counsellor Anaisa Khatri is registered with NCPS and has nine years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with anxiety, depression, stress and a wide range of life difficulties including grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Anaisa describes her style as conversational and informative. She uses several approaches and adjusts them to the presenting issue. In practice this means talking through what is happening, noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and practicing small changes between sessions.
Her methods include cognitive approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. She may also draw on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when relevant. These approaches are used to address things like stress, coping with life changes, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and emotional regulation.
Anaisa works with practical problems such as parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue, plus longer-standing issues including trauma, dissociation and personality-related difficulties. She also lists support for LGBT concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, domestic violence, and substance-related problems.
The first conversations are described as non-directive rather than prescriptive. Anaisa aims to help people reflect on options and try new strategies without telling them what to do. Her sessions focus on making small, manageable changes that fit into daily life.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Anaisa uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and test small changes in behaviour. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and some eating concerns and gives practical exercises to try between sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that matter. ACT can help when someone is coping with ongoing stress, grief or important life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anaisa will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy continues.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals frequently use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and adapt tasks and exercises you can do between meetings.
