About Anita
Anita Dhanecha is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She explains things simply and listens with empathy, helping people feel understood as they talk about what matters to them. Anita holds BACP, which is shown as BACP here, and she brings five years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.
Her style is adaptable. She draws on different therapeutic techniques but keeps the focus on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
That means sessions aim to follow each person’s pace and priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Anita commonly helps with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship questions, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
LGBT concerns and the impact of prejudice and discrimination are named areas she addresses. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems and isolation. Anita also works with people coping with life changes such as pregnancy and childbirth, cancer, career shifts, and caring-related strain like compassion fatigue.
Her sessions aim to help people explore their feelings, make sense of difficult experiences, and build practical ways to cope. She encourages collaboration in therapy and aims to empower people to move toward the life they want.

How attachment and person-centred work translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape how people relate now. In practice this means looking at patterns in relationships and how they affect feelings like anxiety, loneliness or difficulty trusting others. Client-Centred Therapy, also called person-centred work, puts the person’s experience first through empathic listening and acceptance, helping people find their own solutions and grow at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Anita will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions and the tools they use as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering options that do not require being on camera. Many people find that having sessions from their usual environment helps them apply new coping strategies between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care while adapting approaches to each person's situation.
