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 National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Anna works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and anger.

She helps people who are facing big life changes, grappling with grief, or trying to manage addictions and trauma. Anna also supports concerns around intimacy, parenting and self-esteem. Her practice pays attention to how culture, identity and religion shape people’s everyday struggles.

In sessions she uses straightforward listening and practical conversation. People are invited to talk about what feels difficult and what they want to change. Anna draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the discussion focused on the client’s priorities and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain stress or anger.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated relationship patterns and hypnotherapy where appropriate to support motivation and symptom management. These approaches are used to match the needs a person brings, not as fixed prescriptions.

Anna aims for a calm, direct manner in session. She encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. If someone wants to start, they follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How sessions work

How Anna uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on what the client brings. The counsellor listens without steering and helps the person clarify goals and priorities; this approach is useful for sorting through emotions like anger and deciding what to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is about noticing the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new responses, which can reduce reactive anger and workplace frustration.

Psychodynamic work looks at repeated patterns in relationships and where they might come from. It can help when anger keeps returning in similar situations or when past experiences shape current reactions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful based on a person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day pressures. That selection can change as progress is made.

If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for options that do not require being on camera if that helps someone take part.
