About Anita
Anita Redfern has a master's degree in Counselling Psychology and 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on practical help for everyday problems. Anita aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried about starting therapy.
She helps people facing stress and anxiety, and supports those dealing with relationship and family difficulties. Anita also works with people who struggle with self-esteem, motivation, and big life transitions.
Background and approach
Her additional focus includes ageing and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and challenges such as guilt, shame or isolation. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are a place to talk through what matters, try out new ways of coping, and work on clear goals.
She aims to keep language plain and practical so conversations feel down-to-earth and easy to follow. Anita pays particular attention to communication problems, attachment issues, and the effects of infidelity or separation. She also supports people dealing with fatherhood issues, antisocial personality concerns, jealousy and feelings of emptiness.
The work often combines exploring difficult feelings with practical steps for change. People can expect calm, direct listening alongside gentle challenges when patterns are unhelpful. Anita encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews progress as part of ongoing care.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
Another helpful method looks at relationship patterns and attachment - identifying how past experiences shape current connections and communication. Work in this area often includes practising new ways of relating and improving how people express needs and boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss options and make decisions together based on your needs, goals and what feels most comfortable. The choice of method can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make regular work on your concerns easier to maintain alongside everyday life.
