Aneka Goulbourne, BACP

Aneka Goulbourne is a UK-based therapist with three years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem challenges, career difficulties, depression, and major life transitions. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional training and adherence to UK counselling standards.

Aneka offers a calm, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Her practice focuses on helping clients make sense of unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and build confidence to face work and personal challenges. She also works with issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control concerns, self-love, social anxiety and workplace problems.

Believing that seeking support is an act of courage, Aneka approaches each person with empathy and practical guidance. She aims to empower people to take the next steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life, partnering with them to set achievable goals and to build the skills needed to move forward.

Evidence-based techniques and accessible online support

Aneka uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replace them with more constructive habits. This kind of structured work can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and workplace stress.

She also focuses on practical skills-based strategies to improve coping, emotional regulation, and confidence. These approaches teach concrete tools clients can apply between sessions to manage difficult moments and build resilience in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Aneka works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. Together they consider goals, preferences, and the specific challenges someone brings, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Aneka is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy life. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow people to access care from their own location while working with a registered professional who can tailor the approach to their needs.
