About Xolani
Xolani Anahisi is a counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes. Xolani also supports concerns related to self‑esteem, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of relationship and family issues.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and down to earth. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what feels most urgent to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that keep turning up and helps people understand how past experiences may link to present difficulties. Xolani uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make practical changes. She can talk through coping strategies for sleep, eating and anger, or longer work on deeper emotional patterns when that is needed.
The emphasis is on clear steps and steady progress rather than jargon. Her background includes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. That credential is noted here as part of her professional record.
Sessions are available in English and Xolani accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which can suit different schedules and preferences. Therapy can be short term problem-focused work or longer support depending on what the person wants.
To begin, people follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. This process is intended to match needs and practicalities before the first appointment.

Online support
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will decide whether short-term focused work or longer exploration is the best fit and adjust the approach as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video can be good for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send messages when they have short pockets of time, or prefer writing to talking. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel, and allow continuity when in-person meetings are not practical.
