About Ana

Ana Fay is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space. She draws out what matters to each person and helps them find their own answers. Ana uses straightforward talking and practical strategies to help with sleep, stress and mood concerns.

She blends listening with gentle challenge to support people working through anxiety, depression and trauma. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to achieve, with attention to day-to-day patterns like sleep and routines. Ana also supports people managing ADHD, chronic illness, and relationship and intimacy concerns.

Her approach pays attention to early attachment and how past relationships affect present feelings. This helps when someone is dealing with abandonment, communication problems, or commitment worries. She also draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help people notice thoughts and make meaning in difficult times.

Ana holds the NCPS credential, which is recorded here as NCPS. She has three years of clinical experience working with people from varied backgrounds and life stages. Ana offers therapy in English and Spanish and is based in the United Kingdom.

Typical sessions involve listening, reflective feedback and practical steps you can try between meetings. She encourages small experiments around sleep, boundaries and daily routines. To begin, use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Ana aims for a collaborative, paced way of working so people feel understood while trying manageable changes to improve rest and wellbeing.

How Ana’s approaches can translate to online work

Ana uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and drawing out what matters to the individual. This style suits people who want a steady, empathic presence while they talk through sleep problems, anxiety or life changes.

She also pays attention to attachment-based patterns, helping clients see how earlier relationships influence current sleep, intimacy and coping. Attachment-focused work can clarify recurring relationship dynamics and support changes in everyday routines.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Ana will discuss your goals, preferences and concerns and suggest which methods to try first. She adapts her work as you go, combining reflective listening with mindfulness exercises or practical sleep-oriented steps when those fit your needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options when you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try strategies between meetings and bring real-life sleep or routine issues into conversation more directly.
