About Ana
Ana brings 20 years of experience to her practice and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She shapes sessions around each person's needs, drawing on person-centred listening and psychodynamic reflection. She also uses transpersonal and Christian-informed perspectives when they suit a client's preferences.
In a session Ana will listen closely, help identify patterns that keep problems repeating, and work on practical steps to change them. Conversations can cover emotional regulation, communication skills, grief, and rebuilding purpose after loss or big life changes. She pays attention to cultural background and how it affects relationships and identity.
People who value a reflective, relational style will find a steady presence and gentle challenge. Ana describes therapy as a collaborative process that balances exploring the past with making decisions for the present. She aims to help people leave sessions with clearer thinking and options to try between meetings.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be arranged for clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions in line with the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online support
Ana draws on person-centred listening that prioritises the client's experience and psychodynamic reflection that looks at repeating life patterns. Person-centred work emphasises being heard and understood so people can make their own changes. Psychodynamic-style reflection helps identify habits formed in earlier relationships that still affect decisions today.She also uses transpersonal and Christian-informed perspectives when these suit a client. Transpersonal work can bring focus to meaning, purpose and spiritual aspects of a person's life, while Christian-informed conversations may include faith as part of clients' values and goals.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Ana will discuss options with each person, trying ways of working that match their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to adapt her methods as therapy progresses so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a therapist who speaks their language or who is based in another region.
