Anna Antoniou, NCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists, and brings that professional grounding to her therapeutic work.

Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self esteem and confidence. She is particularly drawn to supporting people through midlife transitions, infidelity, coping with cancer, and complex family dynamics. Anna also explores how culture, identity and religion shape the ways people experience themselves and their relationships.

Anna works in a warm, non-judgemental way and believes therapy is most effective when clients feel understood rather than analysed. Clients often describe her as warm, genuine and easy to talk to. She aims to create a space where practical coping strategies and deeper emotional understanding can emerge alongside each other.

Seeking change takes courage and Anna frames her role as supportive and empowering. She collaborates with clients to set goals, explore patterns, and build the skills needed to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches Anna Uses and How Online Therapy Fits

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and clarifies. This approach helps people who need to explore feelings, improve self understanding, and build confidence in their own decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete strategies for change. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Hypnotherapy can be used alongside talking therapy to access focused relaxation and strengthen positive suggestions for behaviour and symptom management. It may be helpful for issues like stress, motivation, and certain habit patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy lives, caregiving responsibilities or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and integrate therapeutic work into day-to-day life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists.
