About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, and she works with people who come with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and sleep problems.
Ana-Maria uses an integrative style that adapts to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings as well as exploring patterns that keep you stuck. She aims to make the room feel warm and non-judgemental so people can speak openly at their own pace.
Many people first contact her feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to change, or stuck repeating the same responses. In sessions she helps break problems down into smaller parts. Conversations look at new ways to think and act, and build simple tools for coping at home.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and mindfulness, among other methods. These are used to help with stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, eating and sleep concerns, and life transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Ana-Maria also works with people facing specific challenges such as adoption and foster care experiences, abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems. If you want straightforward support and practical strategies, she can help you explore next steps and set achievable goals.
How Ana-Maria uses therapeutic approaches online
Ana-Maria integrates a few key methods into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people learn to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to focus on actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for improving closeness and communication. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, offering non-judgemental listening to help someone find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ana-Maria will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt techniques so they fit your needs. This is a collaborative process - you and the therapist check in and refine what is most helpful as therapy continues.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a therapist who speaks their language even if they live elsewhere. Registered or accredited professionals can offer practical, evidence-informed support via remote sessions when that suits the client.
