Anjali Simons, BACP

Anjali Simons is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of practice helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Twi and offers support to international clients. Anjali aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful for everyone who reaches out.

Her style is warm and adaptable. Sessions are tailored so conversations focus on what matters most to each person. She uses listening, reflective questions and practical steps to help people feel steadier and more able to cope. Small, achievable changes are often part of the plan.

Anjali draws on client-centred work to keep the person’s experience central. She also uses mindfulness practices to help with anxiety and sleep, and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns in relationships. These approaches are used to address concerns such as grief, trauma, body image and communication problems.

She has experience supporting people through major life changes like separation, parenting strain, and career shifts. Additional areas she focuses on include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and forgiveness. Sessions may also cover eating and sleeping difficulties, dissociation, and caregiver stress.

People who prefer a calm, collaborative approach may find her helpful. The emphasis is on clear conversation, practical tools and exploring background patterns that affect current life. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps you set goals that feel right. This approach helps when people need a steady, respectful space to talk through worries.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. These exercises are taught in short steps so they can be practised between sessions and used during stressful moments. Psychodynamic work looks at repeated patterns in relationships and early experiences that shape current feelings and reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that suit each person. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel, and can reduce the time spent reaching an appointment. It also allows shorter check-ins when you need a quick update, or longer sessions when you want more time to talk.
