Anita Dhanecha, BACP

Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred ideas to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Anita speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom with five years of experience and a BACP credential.

Her work focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and adjust to major life changes. She also supports people dealing with depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and body image.

Anita adapts what she uses in-session to suit the person she is seeing. Conversations aim to be empathetic and non-judgemental while exploring what matters most right now. The emphasis is on helping the client find their own answers and build on their strengths.

She also offers help with longer-term or complex concerns such as post-traumatic stress, chronic illness and pain, pregnancy and childbirth issues, multicultural and prejudice-related stress, and compassion fatigue. Practical skills and reflective conversation are mixed according to individual needs.

If someone prefers, Anita will discuss how her approach might fit their situation and what to expect from early sessions. Prospective clients are asked to use the service’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Anita's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how past connections shape feelings and behaviour. In practical terms this can help people who feel isolated, struggle with trust, or want to understand patterns in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening without judgement and following the client's lead to build understanding and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts the balance of listening, reflection and practical techniques to suit what the client needs. This means the plan can shift as things change, and the client helps decide what feels most useful.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so check the service to confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. They can also make it simpler to join from another location or maintain continuity when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client focus on steady, collaborative work together.
