I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, complex relationships with food, neurodivergence and experiences of marginalisation. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted by ways of coping that no longer work. I offer a warm, reflective and collaborative space to explore difficult experiences, better understand yourself, and begin making sense of patterns, emotions and relationships.

Over more than 16 years in clinical practice, I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds. One thing I have learnt is that people rarely come to therapy because something is wrong with them. More often, they have spent a long time carrying experiences, responsibilities or expectations that have left them feeling exhausted, stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we explore the emotional patterns shaping your life, creating space for greater clarity, self-understanding and meaningful, lasting change.

Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a late ADHD diagnosis, or processing the impact of a significant life event.

I am a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Counselling Psychologist (PYL044156). I have over ten years of experience in mental health and therapeutic interventions for children, adolescents and adults. I am passionate about supporting racialised and marginalised individuals, given my experiences as a Black woman.
My aim is to provide a validating space whereby an individual feels heard while also being reminded of the innate tools they possess to manage life challenges. There is not solely one way to be and experience life. I believe this is also true for how we construct the therapeutic space.

People access therapy for many different reasons, but generally we are most likely to reach out for help when our usual coping strategies are no longer effective. At these times it is not always helpful or possible to turn to family or friends, and their well-meaning support may not always help. I will provide a calm and confidential space where you will be able to safely share what is troubling you.

Hi, I’m Anita, and I believe counselling can offer a calm, reflective space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and make sense of what you’re experiencing.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
