About Anita

Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who works from a person-centred base. She uses a warm, non-judgemental style that aims to help people feel heard. Her approach focuses on building trust and understanding before deciding how to work together.

She blends Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centred principles to help people make sense of relationships and emotional patterns. This can be useful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Anita aims to adapt her way of working to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed method.

Background and approach

Over five years she has helped people with a wide range of challenges. Common areas she addresses include stress, family and parenting concerns, coping with life changes, career pressures and issues around self-esteem and body image. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Anita offers support around multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and LGBT issues. She can also work with people facing chronic illness, cancer, pregnancy and postnatal changes, and attachment or intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions focus on talking things through and finding practical steps that feel achievable.

Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, and Anita accepts international clients. She explains BACP as a professional reference she holds and works within those standards while helping people explore their concerns and goals.

Ways of working Anita names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Attachment and person-centred work online

Anita draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. This approach looks at connection, safety and how people relate to others, and can be useful for issues like relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and post-traumatic stress.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. That approach suits worries about self-esteem, life purpose, grief and coping with change because the person leads the pace and topics of each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Anita works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will talk through options with each person, set goals together and check in about how the work is going so adjustments can be made where helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more accessible for different schedules, time zones and practical needs.
