Anna Antoniou, NCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society). Anna aims to create a calm, approachable space where people can talk about stressful or painful life events without feeling judged.

Her work focuses on everyday problems like stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and parenting strains. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and major life changes. Anna pays attention to how culture, identity and faith shape someone’s experience and the choices they make.

Anna’s style is warm and down-to-earth. She values being understood over being analysed and encourages honest, straightforward conversation. Sessions tend to be practical and rooted in what someone needs right now, rather than long theoretical discussions.

She draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic ideas and hypnotherapy. These approaches are mixed to fit the person in front of her and the issue at hand. The aim is to help people develop clearer thinking, better coping skills and greater self-awareness.

If someone is thinking about starting, Anna asks them to consider what matters most to them and what small steps would feel manageable. She supports people through steady progress and practical tools, while also making room for feelings and personal history.

How Anna’s approaches work online and in therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace, helping them feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. This is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and major life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills, which can help with anxiety, mood problems and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Anna explores what feels useful and tries different methods collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then adapt sessions as the work progresses.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check the session formats before booking because this profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offer these options in different ways, so confirm how sessions are arranged before you schedule.
