Anna AntoniouNCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Anna aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or uncertain about therapy.

She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, parenting worries and career strain are also within her scope. Anna names trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and anger among the issues she supports people through.

Anna’s style is warm and down-to-earth. She describes her approach as non-judgemental and prefers to create a space where someone feels heard rather than analysed. That tone guides how she works with self-esteem, motivation and confidence challenges.

She has a particular interest in midlife transitions, infidelity and the impact of long-term illness such as cancer. Anna also considers how culture, identity and religion shape a person’s experience and brings that into conversations when relevant.

Practical help is part of sessions. Anna uses client-centred conversations alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking when these fit. She also offers hypnotherapy as one of her methods. Sessions are collaborative and steady, aimed at helping people make real decisions and changes.

How Anna’s approaches suit online therapy

Anna uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as core ways of working. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions; it suits worries about identity, relationships and life transitions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and tries practical steps to change them; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anna discusses your goals and preferences and they decide together which methods to try. She adapts the pace and tools to what feels most useful, so therapy becomes a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and help people book appointments around work, childcare or treatment schedules.
