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 National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes, including concerns that often arise in midlife.

Anna works in a warm, non-judgemental way. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what the client feels is most important. She aims to help people feel heard and understood rather than analysed, and she supports practical steps for change alongside emotional reflection.

Her practice covers relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related issues, grief and loss, and the impact of trauma and abuse. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, anger, addictions and career concerns. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image issues.

Anna uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. These include client-centred techniques, cognitive behavioural strategies, hypnotherapy and psychodynamic ideas. She will draw on what fits best with a person's goals and personality.

People who come to Anna often want honest conversation and steady practical support while they make changes. She encourages small, realistic steps and works collaboratively to build coping skills and clearer direction.

How Anna's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them to find their own solutions and build confidence. It suits issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises and short experiments to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits. It can help with stress, panic, worry and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful during early sessions and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist match methods to the problem and to what the client finds useful.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins when a full in-person meeting is difficult. It can also let people use techniques such as CBT worksheets or guided relaxation from home, and it can support continuity of care when life circumstances change.
