Anuja Sivakumaran , BACP

Anuja Sivakumaran is a UK-credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, credential. She works with people facing relationship and family difficulties, those recovering from trauma and abuse, and individuals seeking greater motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with a focus on helping clients make meaningful changes in their lives.

Anuja adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s specific situation, recognising that every journey is unique. She emphasises support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process and encourages clients to take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Her approach seeks to strengthen resources and build clarity so clients can move toward their goals with confidence and purpose.

Evidence-based approaches for online relationship and trauma work

Anuja uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. Cognitive-informed methods help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and panic-related symptoms.

She also applies trauma-informed principles that attend to the impact of past harm on current functioning. These approaches aim to create a steady pace for processing distressing experiences and strengthening emotional regulation and self-care skills, which can be helpful for post-traumatic stress, abuse recovery, and related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Anuja works with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences so that therapy feels practical and purposeful.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists while fitting sessions into a busy life.
