Anna Antoniou, NCPS

Anna Antoniou is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is a registered member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society), a recognised organisation for counselling and psychotherapy professionals.

Anna works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and challenges linked to life changes and career. Her practice also addresses issues such as intimacy, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and an array of focused areas including abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, codependency, and blended family dynamics.

She is particularly drawn to supporting people facing midlife transitions, infidelity, cancer related concerns, and the ways culture, identity, religion and background shape experience. Anna combines a warm and genuine manner with a non-judgemental stance, and she believes therapy is most helpful when clients feel understood rather than analysed.

Anna approaches therapy with the aim of supporting and empowering people as they take steps toward greater fulfilment and wellbeing. She offers practical guidance and emotional support tailored to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Anna practices using client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and hypnotherapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals and insights guide the work - this approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions.

CBT is a structured, practical approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It can help with stress, anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns by teaching skills to reframe thinking and try new behavioural strategies.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help access resources within the mind for change. It can be useful alongside other approaches for issues such as anxiety, motivation, and habit-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Anna will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt methods over time so that the therapeutic plan fits the individual.

Online therapy with Anna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from registered professionals regardless of location within the therapist’s service area, and they allow people to use the format that feels most comfortable for them.
