About Anita
Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She uses empathy, acceptance and listening to help people feel heard and understood. Anita combines that foundation with other methods to meet individual needs, and she brings five years of practice to her work.
She supports people coping with stress and anxiety, loss and grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions and anger.
Background and approach
Practical problems such as sleep or eating struggles and career transitions are part of her remit too. Anita often explores attachment patterns to make sense of recurring relationship difficulties. Attachment-based ideas help people see how earlier bonds shape current reactions.
She pairs that with a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s goals at the centre of each session. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Anita listens first, then suggests flexible techniques tailored to each situation.
She aims to build a trusting space where people can try new ways of coping and relating. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works with people from a range of backgrounds. Anita holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How attachment ideas and person-centred work translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how someone connects or distances in relationships and to practise new responses. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises listening and the client’s perspective, giving people space to speak and be understood without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs to build self-trust or clarify values.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anita will work with the person to identify goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. She adapts pace and tools based on what works in conversation and what the person feels ready to try.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while keeping the focus on progress and problem solving.
