Behind every good therapy practice is a therapist you can trust. At Change Therapies UK, that is Anil, a highly qualified and deeply experienced psychotherapist, couple counsellor and professional coach who has spent over two decades helping thousands of clients across the UK and around the world navigate some of life's most challenging moments. His approach is warm, evidence-based and completely tailored to each individual he works with.

Anil's Background & Experience

Anil began his career in therapy back in 1999, establishing his first practice as a counsellor in the Midlands. In 2001 he became part owner of a successful complementary health centre, laying the foundations for what would become over two decades of full-time clinical practice.

Since then, Anil has worked with thousands of clients from across the UK and internationally helping individuals and couples deal with anxiety, depression, relational distress, trauma, stress and much more. Over the years he has also extended his expertise to include mental health and wellbeing training for businesses and government organisations.

Having lived and worked as an expat in countries including Canada, Qatar and the UAE, Anil brings a uniquely global perspective to his practice. He understands first-hand the pressures of expat life, cultural transitions and navigating relationships and careers across borders, something that resonates deeply with many of his international clients.

Today, Anil runs a fully online practice through Change Therapies UK, making his expertise accessible to individuals and couples wherever they are in the world.

Anil's Philosophy

After more than 20 years in practice, Anil's core belief remains the same, his role as a therapist is first and foremost to be present for the client. To help them make sense of their distress, find a way forward, and ultimately become their own source of strength and resilience.

Therapy takes courage. It is not always easy, but with the right support, commitment and trust between client and therapist, it can be one of the most transformative investments a person can make in themselves.
