Anita Redfern, BACP

Anita Redfern holds a master's degree in Counselling Psychology and is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). With 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she supports people managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, motivation challenges, and issues with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice includes work with individuals and couples, and she frequently helps clients navigate significant life changes.

Anita aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with attentive listening to help clients develop coping strategies, strengthen communication within families and partnerships, and build greater self-worth.

She recognises the courage it takes to begin therapy and approaches each person with respect and collaboration. Anita works with clients in the UK and internationally and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and lifestyles.

Evidence-based approaches for online stress and relationship support

Anita uses skills-based interventions that teach practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, helping clients reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning through focused exercises and problem-solving. She also offers relational and family-focused work that explores communication patterns, supports conflict resolution and helps partners or family members rebuild trust and cooperation. In addition, her approach to self-esteem and life transitions emphasises building motivation, clarity and coping strategies to navigate changes and restore a sense of personal agency.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Anita works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors methods over time and checks in regularly to adjust direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or those living in different locations. These options allow registered professionals and therapists to provide ongoing, accessible support and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
