About Xolani
Xolani Anahisi is a counsellor with 13 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people who are struggling with issues such as stress, anxiety and depression. Xolani aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make sense of difficult feelings.
Her background includes long-term practice supporting people through trauma, relationship difficulties and grief.
Background and approach
She also helps with self-esteem, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting stress and work-related pressures. Her experience covers a wide range of life events, including abandonment, adoption and blended-family issues. Xolani uses an evidence-informed psychodynamic approach that looks at underlying patterns and past experiences that shape current reactions.
She encourages reflection on emotional habits in plain language, and she helps people notice repeated patterns that cause pain or confusion. Sessions aim to turn insight into practical changes people can try between meetings. People who prefer thoughtful, reflective work tend to find her style a good fit.
She pays attention to emotions and relationships but also helps set achievable goals for daily life. Xolani is comfortable working with LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, intimacy concerns and career-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Prospective clients can start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to suit their schedule.

Online support
Alongside psychodynamic ideas, practical evidence-based techniques can be introduced to manage day-to-day symptoms. For example, simple coping strategies can target sleep and eating difficulties, while grounding techniques support recovery from trauma-related distress. These tools are chosen to match the person's needs and sit alongside reflective work rather than replace it.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as therapy unfolds. Clients help shape what feels most useful, whether that is deeper reflection, short-term skills or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a short break at work, live chat suits quieter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people access therapy from different locations and around varied schedules.
