About Anamika

Anamika Saggar is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, and brings 12 years of experience to conversations about emotional struggles. She aims to be a calm, attentive listener and supports people who want practical steps to feel better.

Anamika uses a person-centred style that keeps the client at the heart of the work. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Solution-focused ideas guide short-term goals and clear next steps when people want concrete change.

In sessions she pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics that affect how people connect and cope. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when feelings and closeness are central to the struggle. She adapts the way she works to what each person needs and prefers.

Her background includes private counselling alongside work for a government department in the United Kingdom. Anamika describes herself as respectful, sensitive and compassionate, and she aims to tailor conversations to each person’s situation. She often supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, family problems and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Practical change is a focus in her approach. Sessions look at what is happening now, what small steps could help, and how to try those steps between sessions. She encourages people to take manageable actions and reflects with them on what works and what to adjust next.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections and trust. Online conversations can help identify patterns in relationships, attachment wounds and ways to build more secure connections.

Client-centred practice focuses on listening, acceptance and understanding. In an online session this often means reflective listening, open questions and pacing the conversation to what the person needs in the moment.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Online sessions can introduce simple exercises and thought records, and review progress between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree on methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Discuss practicalities like how sessions fit around work, how long check-ins might be, and whether you prefer audio-only or video conversation. These choices can make it easier to attend regularly and to fit therapy into everyday life.
