Anna Antoniou, NCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience and is a registered member of the NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. Anna aims to make therapy feel straightforward and approachable for people starting out.

She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related worries, grief and major life changes. Addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and career questions are also within her practice.

Anna uses a range of approaches to match what each person needs. Her work includes client-centred conversations, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas. She focuses on practical steps while also making space to understand deeper patterns that affect thoughts and feelings.

She pays attention to how culture, identity and background shape a person’s experience. Anna is particularly interested in midlife issues, infidelity, cancer and the effects of adoption and foster care. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns.

Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental. Anna encourages people to name small, manageable goals and to try ways of coping that fit their daily life. She offers help every step of the way as someone who listens and works with each person’s own priorities.

How Anna’s approaches work online

Anna blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make clear, practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and building a supportive relationship that encourages personal growth. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches straightforward skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anna will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor sessions from session to session. She sees therapy as a collaborative process and will adapt methods as needs and priorities change.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth or times when being on camera is difficult, and chat or messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving or health routines while keeping the focus on progress and useful tools.
