Anita Dhanecha

Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who works from a person-centred foundation. She places empathy and non-judgement at the heart of sessions and believes clients know themselves best. Anita draws on different therapeutic techniques to match each person’s needs while keeping the relationship respectful and warm.

Her practice commonly supports people facing stress and anxiety. She also helps those dealing with grief, depression and life transitions. Eating and body image concerns are among the areas she can address alongside relationship and intimacy-related issues.

With five years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Anita uses approaches that aim to build trust and understanding. Attachment-based ideas help highlight patterns in relationships and how they affect emotions. Client-centred work focuses on giving people space to speak without judgement.

Sessions are personalised to what each person needs. Anita listens for the concerns that matter most, suggests ways to make small changes, and supports practical steps between meetings when useful. She also addresses overlapping issues such as trauma, addiction and coping with long-term illness.

People often come to her for help with life direction, parenting stress, workplace pressures and feelings of isolation. The aim is to help people find clearer choices, feel heard, and develop more compassionate ways of relating to themselves and others.

How attachment and person-centred approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape feelings and responses now. In practice this means naming connection patterns, noticing how they turn up in current relationships, and trying new ways of responding that feel safer and more manageable. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client’s lead so people can find their own solutions at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about your goals and preferences and suggest which ways of working might suit you best. If something doesn’t feel helpful, adjustments are made together so sessions fit your needs.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during stressful periods. They can also allow someone to join from a quieter room, use audio only for lower bandwidth, or schedule shorter appointments around work or childcare commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and the pace of therapy for remote sessions, and Anita will discuss practical arrangements when you start.
