Getting to know Anneka Dockery

Do you feel stuck, alone or lost within yourself or in your situation? These feelings can occur within your relationships, friendships, work relationship, family, etc. Sometimes feeling boxed in, pressured to be something you are not or having to meet others expectations can be overwhelming and frustrating. Its important to understand what you need for betterment of self, mind and body so you can live and share the best versions of yourself. Your story matters! Whether you are struggling with debilitating self doubt, indecisiveness or negative self worth, therapy is a safe place for exploring those parts of you. My therapy is based on increasing self awareness, challenging negative thoughts and assumptions, understanding the power within, increasing affective communication skills with the use of CBT and EFT techniques. I am also PREPARE certified(pre-marital counseling). My counseling style is warm and inviting. I am down to earth. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. Helping people become the best versions of themselves is something I love and I look forward to being on the journey to a better self with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me means entering a warm, inviting, and down to earth space where you will always be treated with deep respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I strictly believe in treating the individual, not a stigmatizing label. My therapeutic approach is designed to help you increase self awareness, challenge negative thoughts or unhelpful assumptions, and uncover the immense power within yourself. In our sessions, we will utilize proven techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to build effective communication skills and foster deeper connections. Additionally, I am PREPARE-certified, specializing in structured pre-marital counseling for couples looking to build a strong foundation. I truly love helping people become the absolute best versions of themselves, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to a better self.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In my practice, the therapeutic process is completely tailored to you, moving at a pace that feels safe and productive. Our initial session is all about getting to know each other, understanding your unique story, and making sure you feel comfortable in this space. In a typical ongoing session, you can expect a warm, down to earth environment. We focus heavily on exploring your internal strengths and increasing your self awareness. Together, we look at any negative assumptions that might be holding you back and use CBT and EFT techniques to reframe them. For couples, our process is structured around building strong foundational habits and healthy communication. Ultimately, a standard visit is a conversational, stigma free dialogue where you are empowered to discover the power within you.
