Hello, I’m Anita.
I’m a warm, experienced counsellor based in central Ilkley, offering in-person and online therapy for adults (18+). I support individuals and couples with anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
I’m a trained couples therapist and a Gottman Relationship Approved Member. I also have a particular interest in women’s health and life stages, especially times of change and loss. I offer clinical supervision and am an accredited BACP member.
I am trained in the Relational Model of counselling, which focuses on how our past and present relationships influence our wellbeing. This enables me to help with a wide range of emotional difficulties, including relationship issues, trauma, bereavement, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and major life transitions.
I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, confidential environment from where you can talk about anything you want, however difficult. I will listen carefully and non-judgmentally, with respect, in complete confidence. Together we may explore what is troubling you, and begin to find a way for you to reach your own decisions and make your own choices.
