My name is Anjula Cheema and I am a British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) registered and MA qualified adult therapist. My work is governed by the BACP code of ethics. I am also a registered United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) and MA qualified child and adolescent psychotherapist. I provide therapy (short and long term) to both children and young people online and in-person in Milton Keynes (UK).

I am also a clinical supervisor with a UKCP accredited diploma in Integrative Supervision. I provide supervision online or in person.

Since 2011, I have provided one to one therapy for a range of organisations based in Milton Keynes and London. Two of these delivered specialised therapy: one to young people (aged between 11-25) and the other to female survivors of domestic violence. I currently provide one to one therapy to children, teenagers and adult survivors of domestic violence through Womens’ Aid. I also work for Milton Keynes Social Care Directorate providing long term therapy to children in the care system, a number of Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), which are offered by many employers, and run a busy private practice.

Through the above, I have worked with many clients on issues which include abuse including sexual abuse, trauma, domestic violence, self harm, low self-esteem and confidence, identity, cultural issues, transition, loss, anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship issues.

My clients have come from a range of backgrounds and so I have experience of, and more importantly a great respect for difference/diversity based on grounds which include age, sex, religion, ethnic and cultural background and sexual orientation. I have an interest in how these kinds of differences influence our behaviours and emotional health.

I also have an interest in working with trauma in both children and adults and have received post qualifying training in this area.
