About Anna
Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society). Anna works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, parenting strains and life changes.
She uses plain conversation to help people think through what feels stuck. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage stress, improve communication, and rebuild confidence. Anna mixes short-term strategies with deeper reflection depending on what a person needs in the moment.
Her approach combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit. That means a session might include talking through current problems, trying a CBT exercise, or reflecting on patterns that repeat in relationships.
Anna pays attention to how culture, identity and background shape someone’s experience. She often works with people facing midlife changes, relationship betrayal, or serious health issues such as cancer. She also supports parents and those navigating blended family or adoption-related concerns.
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. People come away with clearer steps to reduce anxiety, handle conflict, or manage grief. To begin, clients use the site matching process to pick a suitable time and schedule a first meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Anna uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as the core of her online practice. Client-centred work means sessions are led by what matters most to the person in the room and the therapist listens to understand how life feels now. CBT involves practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.She may also draw on psychodynamic ideas to help someone notice repeating patterns in relationships and past influences that still matter. These approaches are offered in conversation and through exercises that fit into everyday life, such as notice-and-change tasks or short reflective prompts between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks, or medical appointments, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical formats help people keep therapy consistent alongside daily responsibilities.
