About Anita
Anita Roy NCPS supports people facing midlife shifts, relationship strain, anxiety and depression, and a broad range of other concerns. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting stress, career change and ADHD. Anita aims to offer steady, practical help for the daily problems that make life feel hard to manage.
Anita uses a warm, interactive style. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies you can try between meetings. She listens without judgement and encourages people to name what matters most to them. Progress is tracked in simple, concrete steps rather than abstract labels.
Her approach brings together elements from cognitive behavioural work, person-centred practice and attachment-based ideas. That means Anita pays attention to thoughts and behaviours, how relationships shape feelings, and the person’s own priorities. The work often includes learning new coping skills, noticing unhelpful patterns, and practising different ways of responding.
Anita has eight years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She has worked with people affected by domestic and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and complex trauma. She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, body image struggles and dissociation.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. To start you follow the site process of a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Anita aims to make therapy manageable alongside everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take action guided by their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and big life decisions by focusing on what matters and small steps towards it.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. This approach can help with intimacy issues, patterns in close relationships and healing from relational trauma.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful habits and reduce distress from anxiety, depression or intrusive thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss different methods and decide together what fits your goals and preferences. The plan can change as you try things and learn what helps most.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, family and travel, or prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight. Others value the chance to use learned exercises between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can offer these practical benefits while adapting style and tools to your needs.
