Anamika Saggar, BACP

Anamika Saggar welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship struggles. She is straightforward and warm, and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable. Anamika uses a practical, person-focused way of working to help clients find clearer steps forward.

She describes herself as a person-centred counsellor who also uses cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred therapy means the conversation is guided by the client's experience and pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and small behaviour changes that can ease distress.

Anamika also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people identify what they want to change and try doable steps toward that goal. Emotionally-focused elements inform her work with relationship and intimacy concerns, helping people name feelings and respond differently in close moments. Attachment-based ideas shape how she thinks about long-standing patterns that come from early relationships.

She has 12 years of experience, combining workplace counselling with independent practice. She aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs, offering a calm listening presence alongside clear options for change. Anamika works in English and also speaks Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.

She encourages those who are ready to take a step towards feeling better to start a conversation. The focus is on respectful, sensitive support and practical ways to move forward.

How Anamika uses therapy approaches online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions, with the therapist offering attentive listening and reflection to help people make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that suit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, reduce time spent on commuting, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose settings and times that help them focus, so therapy can fit into everyday life more easily.
