About Anna

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience and is a registered member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society).

She helps people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and trauma. She also supports those facing life changes, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and issues around intimacy and codependency. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her.

Her way of working is warm and down-to-earth. Anna aims to create a non-judgemental space where people feel understood rather than analysed. She uses listening and simple questions to help people make sense of their feelings and choices.

Anna draws on several approaches to therapy. She brings client-centred listening together with cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns, and hypnotherapy where it may be useful for relaxation and confidence work.

She has a particular interest in midlife concerns, infidelity, cancer-related issues, and how culture, identity and religion shape experience. People who come for help often want practical steps as well as a chance to talk things through. Anna aims to support and empower people as they move towards clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

How Anna’s approaches work online

Anna uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy centres the client’s experience and relies on listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them; it suits those who need space to talk through life choices and emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and small behaviour changes, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping day-to-day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anna will work collaboratively to decide what helps most, tailoring methods to each person’s goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening with CBT exercises, occasional psychodynamic reflection or using hypnotherapy techniques for relaxation and confidence work.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when you need them. It also gives flexibility to schedule around work, caregiving or medical appointments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
