Anamika Saggar, BACP

Anamika Saggar is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and grief. She offers a calm space to talk through painful feelings like anger, low self-esteem, jealousy and isolation. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and works from the United Kingdom.

Anamika follows a person-centred way of working that keeps the conversation focused on each person’s needs. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small, realistic steps that move things forward.

Her background includes twelve years of experience and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Alongside independent counselling, she has worked in a government department, which has informed her understanding of everyday pressures.

In sessions she listens actively and aims to tailor the dialogue to what matters most to each person. That might mean working on communication habits, managing jealousy or rebuilding confidence after loss. The focus is on practical ways to cope and clear steps to try between meetings.

Anamika describes her role as supporting and empowering people as they take the first steps toward change. If someone wants a straightforward, respectful counsellor who uses both listening and practical strategies, she may be a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in connection, address attachment issues and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session. Online conversations follow the client’s pace, using reflective listening and gentle prompts to help people clarify what they need. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. In remote sessions, CBT techniques can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them out and setting small experiments between meetings to see what changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client's goals, preferences and practical needs. That might mean starting with person-centred listening and adding CBT or solution-focused steps as things progress.

The practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, or allow conversations without being on camera if that helps someone engage.
