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. Her approach is calming and straightforward, aimed at helping people find practical ways to feel steadier in their day-to-day life.

She helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and the pressures that come with big life changes. Relationship worries, intimacy-related issues and parenting strain are part of her work. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, addictions and physical illness challenges such as cancer or chronic pain.

Anna blends empathy with structured tools in sessions. She draws on Client-Centred techniques to build trust and understanding. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for spotting patterns that keep problems going, and she may include elements of psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present feelings.

Many clients come to talk about midlife shifts, infidelity, or how cultural and religious background affects their sense of self. She also offers support around attachment, abandonment, adoption and blended family matters. Sessions aim to help people gain clearer choices and steadier coping skills.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Anna focuses on helping people feel understood rather than analysed. She encourages practical steps alongside reflection, so clients can make changes that fit their life and values.

How Anna’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation and feels heard. This helps with anxiety, low mood and building confidence by prioritising the person’s perspective.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and symptoms that respond to step-by-step strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working. This is a collaborative conversation so methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help on days when a shorter or quieter session is preferable.
