About Anna
Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Anna focuses on practical support for parents and individuals navigating life changes.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety and relationship strains. Sessions commonly address family dynamics, intimacy concerns, grief, addiction and low self-esteem. She is also experienced with issues such as cancer, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Anna pays attention to how culture, identity and background shape people’s experiences. She often works with clients dealing with infidelity, midlife shifts, adoption and foster care matters, and attachment or abandonment concerns. Her approach aims to make complex feelings easier to understand.
Her way of working is warm and straightforward. Conversations are led by the client’s priorities, while Anna offers evidence-informed tools when useful. Some sessions include reflective exploration, and others focus on practical coping strategies and communication skills.
Anna uses a mix of psychodynamic thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas and hypnotherapy where appropriate. Her aim is to help each person find clearer direction, stronger coping and improved relationships. She encourages small, achievable steps towards the changes people want to make.

Approaches Anna lists

How Anna's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the client's lead and helps people find their own solutions, which suits issues like parenting stress, low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes, such as behaviour experiments and thought records.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or habit difficulties. It is often used alongside talking therapies to support behaviour change and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then adapt methods over time so therapy fits each person's needs.
Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial expressions and body language, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
