About Xolani

Xolani Anahisi is a counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom and listed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers calm, practical support for people facing a wide range of difficulties. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel heard and begin to make manageable changes.

She works with common problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people dealing with grief, relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue are also within her practice. Xolani uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that affect how people think and feel. That approach focuses on understanding past influences and how they play out now, which can help with self-awareness and long-term change.

She combines that with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions are conducted in English and are available to people in the UK and internationally. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their life.

Pricing varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book according to the therapist’s schedule. The early sessions focus on building a working relationship and agreeing practical goals for therapy.

How psychodynamic work and practical techniques translate online

Psychodynamic work focuses on understanding patterns that repeat over time and how earlier experiences influence current feelings and choices. Online sessions using this approach involve talking through recent events and memories to notice recurring themes and unhelpful habits, which can help people gain clearer self-understanding.

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used alongside psychodynamic ideas to give practical tools for managing day-to-day difficulties. These techniques might include guided ways to manage anxiety, strategies to improve sleep and eating routines, and steps to cope with grief or stress. They aim to give small, usable changes between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try approaches that fit the person's needs and preferences, and adjust as progress unfolds. That means sessions can be shaped by the client's pace and what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time permit. Phone sessions can be a good option when you need a shorter check-in or lower data use. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want regular brief contact, or need to work around a busy schedule.
