ABOUT ME
Anjali Limda (MBACP)
M.Sc. in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy
In individual therapy with Anjali, the focus is on creating a safe, warm, and supportive space where clients can share their experiences without fear of judgment. She works with a wide range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, grief, self-harm, and challenges around self-worth or identity. Her approach is integrative, drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and Attachment-Based work, while also being informed by a trauma-sensitive lens. This means she combines practical strategies such as helping clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns or manage distress with deeper explorations into emotional experiences, inner narratives, and unmet needs. This allows her to address both the immediate impact of distress and the deeper roots of emotional pain. She helps client’s develop healthier coping strategies, learn to manage intrusive thoughts or intense feelings, and gradually reconnecting with parts of themselves that have felt silenced or overwhelmed. Her work is adaptive and flexible, some sessions may focus on practical tools for emotional regulation, while others may involve slowing down to process experiences that have long been carried but not spoken aloud.
In her couples, marriage, and family therapy practice, Anjali draws strongly on her training in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach that offers structured, practical tools to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild trust. This method provides partners with clear strategies for softening defensiveness, managing recurring disagreements, and creating rituals of connection that sustain intimacy over time. Alongside this, her expertise in attachment theory helps couples and families understand how early relational patterns and attachment needs influence the way they connect, argue, or withdraw in relationships. Together, these approaches allow her to work with couples in a way that is both emotionally deep and practically effective.
She supports couples facing a wide range of concerns from communication breakdowns and intimacy struggles to navigating infidelity, parenting conflicts, and major life transitions. For families, her work often involves creating space for healthier patterns of interaction, addressing generational dynamics, and strengthening bonds across different roles. Anjali believes that relationships do not have to be at breaking point for therapy to be valuable, it can also be a proactive process to nurture closeness, deepen emotional understanding, and prevent future disconnection. She holds the view that even in moments of rupture, there is always room for repair or renewal, whether that means rediscovering intimacy together or moving forward with clarity and compassion.

APPROACH
Guiding you towards healing and self-discovery
Anjali uses an integrative approach, drawing interventions and methods from various therapeutic modalities to best suit each client’s unique needs. From a Person-Centered perspective, she values authenticity, unconditional positive regard and empathy, ensuring clients feel truly seen and heard. CBT informs her belief that individuals can build healthier emotional responses and coping strategies by understanding and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment Theory guides her understanding of how early relationships shape attachment patterns, and she works with clients to develop secure, supportive connections with themselves and others. By integrating these perspectives, Anjali cultivates a therapeutic space where clients can explore their emotions, regulate distress and foster long-term emotional resilience.
