About Anna
Counsellor Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years of practice in the United Kingdom and works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among other issues.
Anna listens to what matters to each person and uses straightforward, person-focused methods. She draws on client-centred work and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Her practice includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, low self-esteem and problems with intimacy. She also focuses on life events such as midlife transitions, bereavement, cancer, separation and the stresses of parenting and caregiving. Practical matters like career stress, anger and communication difficulties are within her scope too.
Anna pays attention to how culture, identity and religion affect someone’s experience. She notes particular interest in adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, body image and blended family issues. She also lists work with chronic illness, ageing, and codependency related problems.
Sessions are conversational and aim to help people understand options and try different ways of coping. People can expect a clear, steady approach that mixes listening with practical steps. To begin, follow the site prompts to view counselling options and book an initial session.
How Anna uses different approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to develop their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals often find remote sessions help people keep continuity when life is unpredictable, and they can use a mix of conversational and structured techniques to suit each session.
