About Ana-Maria

Ana-Maria Anica is a counsellor with three years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and other life changes. Ana-Maria aims to make the first step into therapy straightforward and approachable.

Ana-Maria works in an integrative way. She draws on person-centred ideas and mindfulness alongside other approaches to match each person’s needs. In sessions she helps people break down problems into manageable steps and practise simple tools that can be used day to day.

Many people come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about the next chapter of life. She supports clients in spotting unhelpful patterns, testing new perspectives and building confidence to move forward. Work is practical and grounded in the client’s own priorities.

She also offers a calm, non-judgemental space for talking things through at a pace that suits the individual. Some people focus on immediate coping strategies while others explore longer-term patterns, and the work adjusts to fit those aims.

Ana-Maria can support concerns such as stress, self-esteem, grief, addiction and parenting strain, among others. She speaks English and Romanian and accepts international clients, and she will help people decide what to focus on first.

How Ana-Maria uses therapy approaches online

Ana-Maria often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is practical and useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort out feelings and make decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods and try things that match a person's goals, preferences and the problems they bring. That collaborative process helps shape what sessions look like over time.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try conversational, reflective or skills-based work in a way that suits their routine.
