About Me

Anita helps individuals, couples, and families make meaningful changes in their lives and relationships. She focuses on strengthening connections, healing past trauma, and addressing family-of-origin pain. Anita also guides parents through the trials of parenthood, supporting them to navigate complex family dynamics. Clients find her approach valuable for building resilience and fostering lasting positive shifts.

Approach

Therapy with me moves at a practical, relational pace, centring small, steady shifts that change how you show up at home and in relationships. I work from London and online in English, keeping sessions focused and paced to suit adolescents, adults, couples and families so progress fits your life. We explore patterns, try brief experiments between sessions and attend to grief, body image and parenting pressures alongside mood and eating concerns. Those juggling parenting, loss or relationship strain often find this grounded, collaborative way helpful.
