Anna Antoniou , NCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and registration with the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society). She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and the challenges of life transitions.

Her practice also addresses more specific matters such as intimacy and sexual concerns, parenting and blended family dynamics, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and the emotional impacts of cancer and aging. Anna is particularly interested in midlife difficulties, infidelity, and the ways culture, identity, religion, and background shape a person’s experience.

Anna practises in a non-judgemental, client-centered way and believes therapy is most effective when people feel understood rather than analysed. Clients often describe her as warm, genuine, and easy to talk to. She aims to support and empower individuals as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life, offering practical and empathic guidance throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Anna draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic environment where the client’s experience guides the pace and direction of change; it is well suited to people seeking understanding and validation for relationship, identity, or life-stage concerns. CBT is a practical, structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to explore thoughts and behaviors beneath conscious awareness and can be an adjunct for issues such as anxiety, habit change, and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses so the method fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue work during life transitions. For many clients, remote sessions provide consistent access to licensed professionals and allow therapeutic momentum to continue even when in-person meetings are not possible.
