Ana-Maria Anica

Ana-Maria Anica is a BACP counsellor who works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain and other life stresses. She uses an integrative style and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for each person. Ana-Maria speaks English and Romanian and is based in the United Kingdom.

Ana-Maria draws on a range of approaches to shape sessions around what the client needs. She often blends person-centred listening with mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Conversations are broken into small steps so problems feel less overwhelming.

Clients can expect to build simple tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, coping with grief, and handling relationship tensions. Sessions also look at longer-term patterns, such as attachment concerns or repeated cycles of self-criticism. The work mixes practical skills with gentle reflection so progress can be felt between meetings.

She aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. Ana-Maria focuses on making the process clear and manageable for someone who may be nervous about starting therapy. She helps people set realistic goals and reviews progress together.

Whether a person wants short-term coping strategies or to explore deeper life patterns, Ana-Maria tailors the pace and tools to the individual. Her approach is collaborative, practical and rooted in everyday language to make therapy accessible and useful.

How Ana-Maria uses therapy approaches online

Ana-Maria often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that fit personal goals, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current behaviour. This approach helps with intimacy concerns, communication problems and repeated relationship cycles by exploring how people connect and respond to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. Sessions are collaborative, with practical tools introduced and reviewed so you can see what feels helpful.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy slots are simpler to attend. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and conversational work to suit remote sessions and everyday life.
