Anaisa Khatri, NCPS

Anaisa Khatri is an integrated psychotherapeutic counsellor who tailors her work to the individual needs clients bring to therapy. She draws on a mix of approaches - including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), mindfulness practices, psychodynamic thinking, person-centred methods and gestalt techniques - selecting the right combination based on the issue being addressed and the client’s preferences.

Her counselling style is conversational and informative, focused on empathetic listening and building a trusted therapeutic relationship. She aims to offer a safe space for people to explore difficult feelings and life events without judgement, supporting them through the process rather than directing what they should do. Her work has a strong emphasis on practical skills alongside reflective exploration to help clients make progressive changes.

Anaisa supports individuals facing anxiety, depression and stress as well as those coping with life transitions such as illness, changes in schooling, divorce and grief. She also works with people affected by bullying, self-harm, anger management and a range of other challenges. With nine years of clinical experience, she brings experienced, compassionate guidance and looks forward to working side by side with clients to help them move toward their goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Anaisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered approaches, and she also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when appropriate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression and unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a non-directive, collaborative relationship so clients can explore values, self-worth and life changes at their own pace. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on building psychological flexibility and guiding people toward values-based action, which can be useful for chronic stress, avoidance and difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Anaisa works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time, combining active skills training with reflective exploration to support lasting change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from in-person services. Working remotely with registered professionals and therapists makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations and select the format that feels most comfortable for the client.
