About Anuja

Anuja Sivakumaran is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. Sessions are conducted in English.

Anuja works with people who are facing relationship strain and family conflict. She helps clients talk through attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She explains problems plainly and collaborates on a plan that fits each person's situation. Conversations centre on practical steps and reflections that aim to improve everyday coping and sense of self.

Anuja pays attention to sexuality and women’s issues alongside broader life-purpose questions. She addresses forgiveness, self-love and building confidence through steady, focused sessions. This often involves looking at patterns in relationships and trying new ways of relating.

People who choose to work with her begin by describing what matters most to them. From there she and the client set goals and decide on methods to use. The practical emphasis is on manageable change, clearer communication, and building skills to handle difficult feelings.

How her approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One common technique helps people identify and change unhelpful patterns in relationships by looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This can reduce conflict and improve communication. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic memories in a paced way, helping people reduce intrusive symptoms and regain a sense of control over daily life. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then suggest methods to try. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed, so the plan stays relevant to your needs. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. They can also accommodate shorter check-ins when time is tight or phone-only calls when lower bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help clients keep continuity of care while managing day-to-day demands.
