About Anita
Anita Roy is a counsellor with eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with concerns ranging from trauma and abuse to addictions, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career questions and neurodivergence such as ADHD.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions are conversational and tailored to what each person needs. She avoids stigmatising labels and aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity.
Background and approach
Anita draws on Narrative Therapy alongside cognitive and humanistic methods to help people make sense of painful stories. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred techniques to uncover values and build small, practical steps forward. Attachment ideas also inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds.
In practical terms Anita focuses on setting clear, shared goals. She listens for recurring patterns and helps people test new ways of responding. Work commonly includes coping tools, values-based choices and shaping healthier daily routines.
Anita holds NCPS as a credential and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People often begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking sessions that suit their schedule.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Anita directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How different approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small steps towards them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps retell those stories in ways that open up new possibilities. It can be helpful for trauma, relationship patterns and identity concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anita will listen to your situation and help you decide what fits best. That choice is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches so it matches your goals and day-to-day life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls let you see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when you prefer not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, journalling-style reflections or when a shorter, written exchange suits your day. These options give flexibility and help keep therapy consistent even when life gets busy.
