Anita Roy, NCPS

Anita Roy helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem difficulties, grief, and changes such as career shifts or parenting challenges. Anita brings eight years of clinical experience and holds the NCPS credential. Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than labels. Anita listens closely and works alongside each person to spot unhelpful patterns and build everyday skills for coping. She draws on a mix of established approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-focused work, to tailor the process to each person. Conversations are collaborative so plans reflect what the individual wants to change and how they prefer to work. In therapy Anita uses straightforward tools - such as examining thoughts that fuel anxiety, practising new ways to handle strong emotions, and noticing relationship patterns that cause strain. Small changes in day-to-day habits are encouraged alongside deeper reflection. Anita aims to make sessions practical and compassionate. She works with people on issues including intimacy, eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue and more. The focus is on helping people develop resilience and clearer choices for their lives.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

A cognitive behavioural therapy approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and practical problem-solving.

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and develop healthier ways of relating.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Anita will talk through goals, preferences and life circumstances and then suggest steps to try. Together they adapt methods as progress is made so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions can be offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats can work for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress and clear goals.
