About Anita

Anita Burton is a talking therapist based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on three years of practice to support people through life’s hard moments. Anita listens without judgement and centres the conversation on each person’s experience.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship or parenting concerns, and tackle issues with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and trauma and abuse. Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are built around what matters to the client, with Anita helping to make sense of emotional patterns and reactions.

She explains ideas clearly and offers practical ways to try new approaches between sessions. Anita uses a mix of approaches that include attachment-based thinking, trauma-focused ideas, psychodynamic reflection, client-centred listening and solution-focused goals. This mix helps when people need both understanding and clear steps to move forward.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk and to be heard. Anita aims to help people gain confidence, find clearer choices, and feel better able to cope with change and the stresses of everyday life.

How Anita’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and feelings. Online conversations can help people recognise patterns in how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past hurts shape the present. In remote sessions this approach helps people name traumatic experiences, learn coping skills, and reduce reactions that get in the way of daily life.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, with the therapist offering non-judgemental listening and support. This style is useful for building confidence, making choices, and finding one’s own answers.

Deciding which approach to try is part of the therapy. Anita works with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That means talking about what feels useful, trying things out, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different places and at times that fit everyday life.
