About Anita
Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who works from a person-centred base and uses attachment-informed ideas. She focuses on helping people through loss, stress, anxiety and major life changes. Anita draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person rather than applying one fixed method.
She keeps the work simple and direct. Sessions usually centre on listening carefully, building trust and helping people name what matters to them. Anita aims to create space for people to think about relationships, identity and safety in ways that make sense to their life.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship questions, and difficulties with sleep or eating. She also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain and experiences of prejudice or cultural stress.
Anita works with attachment issues and uses client-centred methods to help people explore self-esteem, body image and social anxiety. She also offers support around chronic illness, cancer, pregnancy and childbirth related worries. Her experience includes addressing compassion fatigue and ADHD-related stress.
With five years of experience and BACP registration, Anita brings practical, everyday language to sessions. She encourages small, manageable steps and focuses on what a person can do now to feel steadier. The goal is steady progress, not sudden fixes.

Ways of working Anita names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Online approaches that focus on attachment and the person
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps when relationship patterns, trust or closeness feel difficult, and can be useful for people dealing with trauma, loss or attachment wounds.Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions, which can support self-esteem, body image concerns and decisions about life changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Anita will work with each person to agree what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. This collaborative way makes it easier to try different routes and keep what works.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel commitments.
