Aneka Goulbourne, BACP

Aneka uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on breaking problems into workable steps. One common approach she applies is structured problem-solving, which helps identify practical changes to reduce stress and improve daily functioning. This is useful for workplace issues, low motivation and coping with life changes.

She also draws on methods that focus on building self-esteem and managing anxiety by noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small experiments. That kind of work can help with social anxiety, fears of abandonment and improving communication. Aneka tailors these approaches to each person rather than using a single fixed method.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aneka discusses your goals and preferences, then selects techniques that match what you want to achieve. She reviews progress and adapts the plan as needed so the approach stays relevant to your situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow a fuller conversational feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
