About Anna

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience and is a registered member of the NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. Anna aims to make therapy approachable and down-to-earth for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through worries about stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, grief, addictions and coping with life changes. Short-term difficulties and longer-standing patterns both form part of her work. Anna pays attention to how culture, identity and religion affect people's experiences. She is particularly interested in midlife challenges, infidelity, cancer-related concerns and family dynamics. She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment issues, body image worries, chronic illness and caregiving stress. Her way of working is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding practical steps to feel better. She uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas, tailoring them to each person's needs. Seeking change can feel daunting. Anna aims to support and empower people as they take those first steps, helping them build confidence and clearer direction in everyday life.

How Anna's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so people feel heard and understood; it is useful for anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to manage mood, stress and unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic ideas help people see how past experiences shape current behaviour and can illuminate repeated relationship issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, and she adjusts the approach as goals and needs become clearer. This means sessions can mix practical tools with space to reflect, depending on what the person wants.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Anna about what will fit best with daily routines and technical preferences so sessions become a workable part of life.
