Anna Antoniou, NCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the NCPS, the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. Anna focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficult life changes.

Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people feel heard rather than analysed. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to the issues that matter most in everyday life.

Anna often works with relationship and family concerns, including intimacy issues, infidelity, blended family tensions and parenting stress. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, long-term illness and addiction, and those navigating career or identity crossroads. Aging and geriatric issues are among her areas of focus when they arise.

She uses a mix of methods to match different needs. Cognitive behavioural ideas help with unhelpful thinking and short-term coping. Client-centred listening offers a steady, empathetic presence. Psychodynamic thinking can illuminate how past patterns affect present choices, and hypnotherapy is used where appropriate to support focused change.

Anna describes the first steps as honest and straightforward. She works collaboratively to set goals and adapt how sessions run. People looking for a supportive, practical counsellor often find her style approachable and grounded.

Approaches that shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist provides a supportive presence and helps people find their own solutions, which can suit those dealing with low mood, self-esteem or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, stress and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they shape a plan, mixing methods where that makes sense.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Different ways of meeting can suit quieter conversations, shorter practical sessions, or longer reflective work depending on what you need.
