About Anjali

Anjali Simons is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience and BACP registration. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and motivation, and common life changes. She speaks English and Twi and accepts international clients.

Her approach starts with listening. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Anjali encourages small steps that feel achievable and realistic for day-to-day life.

She draws on client-centred work to build a trusting relationship. That helps people feel understood and to explore feelings about relationships, family strains, or intimacy concerns. Mindfulness practices are used to help manage overwhelming thoughts and improve concentration and sleep.

Psychodynamic ideas support deeper looking at patterns such as attachment problems, abandonment concerns, dependent or avoidant tendencies, dissociation, and codependency. These perspectives can help uncover why certain reactions keep repeating and what might shift them over time.

People also bring practical struggles like parenting stress, career decisions, or the emotional impact of separation and grief. Anjali combines reflective conversation with practical steps so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions. She asks about each person’s priorities and adapts work accordingly.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on making the session a supportive place where the person leads the conversation and feels heard; it helps with relationship stress, self-esteem and day-to-day worries. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage strong emotions. Psychodynamic ideas encourage looking at recurring patterns, attachment issues and early influences to understand why certain reactions keep appearing.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful, checking in regularly and adjusting the focus as needs and goals evolve.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy week and having sessions without travel. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments during work breaks or when caring responsibilities are busy. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are held, and plan times that suit your routine.
