Ana-Maria Anica, BACP

Ana-Maria Anica is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people through anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP registration, and has three years of professional experience working with people facing life changes, stress and self-esteem problems.

She uses an integrative, person-centred way of working that combines mindfulness and other practical methods. Sessions focus on breaking problems into manageable steps. Clients are helped to develop simple, usable tools to cope better day to day.

People often come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure which direction to take. She helps them spot unhelpful patterns, try out new perspectives and practise different ways of responding. The pace is set by the client so work can be short term or more exploratory.

Ana-Maria aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space for honest conversation. She talks openly about goals and keeps the approach straightforward. That can mean short coping strategies one week and deeper reflection the next.

She also supports those dealing with more complex issues such as trauma, addiction and grief. If you are thinking about starting, use the site to complete the short matching questionnaire and book a slot that suits you.

How Ana-Maria’s approaches work online

Ana-Maria works using methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match your values. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and offering empathic support so you can find your own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods might fit. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as you try things and see what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or after work. It also gives flexibility for people in different time zones, since international clients are accepted; confirm exact session options when you book. Practical benefits include continuing steady support while life changes and practising new skills in everyday settings without having to rearrange your day.
