About Anita

Anita Burton is a talking therapist based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Anita aims to make therapy straightforward and welcoming for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She helps people with stress, anxiety and depression, and with issues around relationships and intimacy. Anita also supports those facing parenting pressures, career decisions, addictions and problems with eating or sleeping.

Background and approach

She works with concerns such as anger, grief, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Anita uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns in relationships, and psychodynamic thinking to consider how past experiences shape current feelings.

Solution-focused conversations help people set small, practical goals and try different ways forward. Sessions are built around respectful, collaborative conversation. Anita sees the person in front of her as the expert on their life and aims to create an equal working relationship.

She listens carefully, asks clear questions and helps people notice options they might have missed. Practical matters such as how therapy fits around work and family are discussed openly. Anita can offer video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.

She also works with international clients who prefer English.

How Anita's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. It can be useful for people dealing with trust issues, abandonment fears or difficulties forming intimacy.

Client-centred methods focus on listening with empathy and following the client's pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings, build self-esteem, or talk through life changes without pressure.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. Anita will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which ways of working to try first. She adapts the focus as sessions progress so the plan fits your experience and what you want to change.

Online sessions let people fit therapy around work, caring duties or long commutes. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you think things through. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and try different formats as your needs change.
