Counselling and IFS Therapy in Stevenage and Online
Trauma Informed Counsellor
Hello, I'm Anita. Thank you for visiting my website. I'm an integrative counsellor based in Stevenage, offering both in-person and online sessions. My practice is rooted in the belief that 'the way out is in' – your journey to healing starts right where you are now.
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely. As a registered member of the BACP and a trauma-informed therapist, I provide professional, confidential support that recognises how past experiences shape our present lives. I understand that reaching out for support is a brave step, and I'm here to meet you with empathy and understanding.
Whether you're looking for short-term support or longer-term therapy, I provide both online and in-person sessions, allowing you to choose what works best for you. Together, we can work through anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or feelings of being stuck, helping you find clarity, healing, and peace at a pace that feels right for you.
Individual Counselling for Adults
I work one-on-one with adults (18+) from all walks of life. Whether you're struggling with daily stresses or deeper-rooted issues, we'll work together to help you find clarity and peace.

Group Sessions
I run two types of transformative group work in Stevenage: a monthly women's support group where we explore healing from abuse, navigate immigration challenges, and build healthy relationships, and constellation groups that help reveal and heal family patterns. Both provide safe, nurturing environments where you can connect with others and grow together.

The Power of Counselling
Counselling is a collaborative process where we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, non-judgemental environment. It's not about giving advice or telling you what to do. Instead, it's about helping you gain insights, develop new perspectives, and find your own solutions.
Counselling isn't a quick fix or a magic solution, but it can be a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. It provides a space for you to be heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life's challenges.
Through our sessions, you may find yourself gaining new perspectives on your challenges, developing coping strategies for difficult times, and improving your relationships – both with others and with yourself. Many people experience a boost in self-esteem and confidence, and find new meaning and direction in their lives.
Remember, counselling is a journey we undertake together. It can sometimes be challenging, but it can also be incredibly rewarding, leading to profound personal growth and a more fulfilling life.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
One of the approaches I use is Internal Family Systems therapy. IFS views the mind as naturally multiple and our inner parts as having positive intentions for us, even if their actions are counterproductive. This powerful method can help you heal inner wounds and live with greater harmony and self-compassion.
