About Anjali

Anjali Simons is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

Anjali helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also supports those coping with depression, grief, trauma and abuse. Parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related issues are among the practical topics she addresses.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on client-centred work that keeps the person's experience at the centre of sessions. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay present. Psychodynamic ideas may be brought in to look at patterns that repeat over time.

Sessions are offered in English and Twi, and she accepts international clients who can meet by video or phone. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual - current struggles, relationships, or life changes - and on clear, manageable steps forward. Anjali is accustomed to helping people navigate major transitions such as divorce and blended family adjustments.

She also offers support around attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress and communication problems. Her aim is to provide straightforward, practical help so people can tackle daily stresses and longer standing patterns.

Online support

How Anjali’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person set the agenda. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk through parenting worries, relationship issues or emotional distress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. It can help when anxiety, sleep or eating patterns are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions include short exercises you can use between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anjali collaborates with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals. She adjusts methods over time, combining practical coping tools with discussion of patterns that matter to the client.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need quick support. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting, work and other commitments.
