Anita Dhanecha works from a person-centred approach that focuses on empathy and respect. She uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods to help people feel heard and understood. Anita aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what matters most.

She has five years' experience and practises in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with grief, addictions, self-esteem and relationship issues.

Background and approach

Intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and trauma are included in her focus areas as well. Anita adapts her way of working to each person. That can mean exploring attachment patterns to understand relationship struggles.

It can also mean following the person’s lead, offering reflection and empathy so they can find their own solutions. She has additional experience with body image, chronic illness and pain, cancer, and coping with life changes. Communication problems, isolation and career concerns are also part of her practice.

Anita pays attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination when these affect someone’s wellbeing. Sessions can involve conversational listening, gently challenging unhelpful beliefs, and practical steps to improve day-to-day life. The aim is to build trust and clarity so people feel more able to make changes.

Anita encourages a collaborative pace and adapts support as needs evolve.

How attachment and person-centred work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. Online sessions can explore those patterns through reflective conversation and practical exercises to improve how someone connects with others.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and following the person's lead. In an online setting the counsellor offers non-judgemental presence, mirrors what the client says, and helps them find their own solutions to stress, loss or life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Anita will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts the focus and pace as the work develops so the approach fits the issue rather than the other way round.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
