Approaches for online therapy and therapeutic change



Anuja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting difficulty. One approach focuses on structured, skills-based work that teaches practical coping strategies and behavioural tools to manage anxiety, panic, low mood, and social concerns. These interventions help clients build confidence, reduce avoidant patterns, and develop healthier daily routines.

Another strand of her practice is trauma-informed therapeutic work that helps people process distressing experiences and symptoms related to post-traumatic stress and abuse. This involves pacing the work to match the client’s readiness and supporting the development of grounding and emotion-regulation skills.

She also attends to relational and family dynamics, helping clients explore attachment patterns, communication problems, and forgiveness where relevant. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Anuja works with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Anuja is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. This range of options lets clients engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and to bring therapeutic work into everyday life.
