Aneka Goulbourne, BACP

Aneka Goulbourne is a UK-based therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem challenges, career difficulties, and depression. With three years of professional experience, she offers practical guidance and emotional support to help clients navigate life changes and everyday pressures.

Aneka emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings. She views the decision to seek help as a courageous first step and aims to empower clients as they work toward greater balance and well-being. Her practice focuses on helping people build skills, increase self-awareness, and develop strategies to manage work and relationship stressors.

Holding the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Aneka integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person she works with. She tailors sessions to the needs and goals of clients, offering support for issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, self-love, social anxiety, and workplace concerns. Aneka delivers care in English and practices from the United Kingdom, providing accessible options for those seeking a collaborative therapeutic experience.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Aneka uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clarifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping skills. One common element involves identifying and reframing thoughts that contribute to stress and low self-esteem, helping clients respond to situations with greater clarity and control. Another element emphasizes skill-building - practicing new behaviors and coping strategies that reduce anxiety, improve communication, and support career or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Aneka works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, then adapts evidence-based methods to fit what will be most helpful for them. This collaborative process helps ensure the approach matches the client rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Aneka is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home or work, and integrate therapy into a changing life, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
