About Anita

Anita Redfern is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She holds a masters degree in Counselling Psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Anita helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low confidence or life changes.

She often supports people facing relationship strains and family conflict. Anita also works with those dealing with loneliness, guilt, shame or the emotional impact of separation and infidelity.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with caregiving stress, blended family issues and concerns around ageing. In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Anita encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation to make small changes feel manageable.

She adapts her pace to each person so discussions never feel rushed. People come to Anita looking for help with coping, improving communication and rebuilding self-esteem. She will listen and help identify priorities before planning how to move forward.

The process is collaborative and rooted in achievable goals. Her practice offers a mix of session formats to suit different routines, and international clients may arrange online work. Anita’s approach is straightforward and focused on day-to-day improvements rather than technical jargon.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Anita lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding patterns and trying new ways of coping. One common approach is talking through thoughts and feelings to spot unhelpful patterns and test small behavioural changes; this helps with anxiety, stress and low mood. Another approach uses practical communication work to improve how people speak and listen in relationships, which can reduce conflict and increase connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anita will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as progress is reviewed, so the focus stays relevant to the person’s life.

Online sessions make this kind of work flexible. Video calls let people see and hear one another for a fuller experience. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins or written reflection between longer meetings. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and make regular contact easier to maintain.
