Anamika Saggar , BACP

Anamika Saggar offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She is a person-centred counsellor who listens closely and helps clients find clear next steps. Many come for relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures or struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions are conducted in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu to suit different needs.

Anamika draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution-focused ideas to map small, achievable changes. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and closeness are at the centre of a problem. The aim is to make sessions straightforward and useful rather than full of jargon.

She has twelve years of experience working in counselling and support roles. Alongside private counselling she has worked with a government department, bringing practical experience of navigating systems and paperwork. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is noted as BACP.

In a first session she will listen to what matters most and agree simple goals you can try between meetings. Conversations are shaped around each person’s life and responsibilities, so plans fit with everyday routines. The focus is on finding steps that feel doable and build confidence.

Anamika seeks to treat people with respect, sensitivity and warmth. She describes her role as offering steady support and practical tools while you work towards a more manageable, fulfilling daily life.

How her approaches work online

Attachment-based work helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions use this to gently map relationship reactions and build different ways of connecting when trust or closeness is difficult.

Client-centred practice puts the person’s experience at the heart of each meeting. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead, helping them find their own answers in a steady, supported way.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. In online appointments this can mean short practical exercises and homework to try between sessions, so progress continues between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and agree a way forward based on your goals and preferences. This collaborative decision means methods can change as needs evolve.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports brief, written reflections. These choices make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily routines.
