Anna Antoniou , NCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. Anna offers a calm, approachable presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression using clear, practical steps. She also supports those facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns and family-related difficulties. Anna pays attention to how life transitions and career pressures affect day-to-day wellbeing.

Her work includes helping people cope with trauma and abuse, addiction issues, grief and challenges related to chronic illness or caregiving. She is drawn to matters that touch identity and culture, including how religion and background shape personal experience. Anna also works with people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, abandonment and attachment difficulties.

Therapy sessions aim to feel human rather than clinical. Anna uses client-centred methods to listen and build trust, and she draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to create manageable change. She also brings psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy where these fit a person's goals.

She encourages small, steady steps and practical tools alongside deeper reflection. People meet her for short-term focus work and for longer conversations about meaning and values. To begin, a simple matching process connects people to her for scheduling and ongoing sessions.

How Anna’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In this approach the counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. It is useful for people who need empathy and clearer self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach works well for stress, panic, worry and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those aims. The choice of method can change over time as needs shift, and she encourages collaboration about what helps most.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people meet for regular sessions from different locations and at varied times.
