About Ana

Ana Fay works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes using a person-centred approach. She offers counselling that focuses on the individual's experience and personal goals. Ana is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience in therapeutic work.

Ana uses person-centred methods to help people talk through difficult feelings and decisions. She listens to what matters to each person and reflects back what she hears so clients can find their own way forward. This approach is often used for relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief and coping with chronic health issues.

She also draws on attachment-based thinking when relationships and early patterns affect current difficulties. That can be useful for problems with intimacy, abandonment, communication and commitment concerns. Trauma-focused ideas are used when people bring experiences of abuse or overwhelming events and need help to process their responses.

Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, anxiety, sleep and concentration. These are presented as practical exercises that can be used between sessions. Existential ideas are used to discuss meaning, values and life direction when people face big changes or questions about purpose.

Ana sees people who want support with ADHD, autism-related issues, addiction, parenting strain, carer stress and long-term conditions. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Clients begin by using the site matching process to schedule a first session and discover whether her way of working feels suitable.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Ana combines person-centred work with attachment-based and trauma-focused ideas to guide sessions. Person-centred counselling concentrates on the client's experience and personal goals, using listening and reflection to help people clarify feelings and choices. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and early experiences that affect how someone connects now, which can help with intimacy and communication issues. Trauma-focused approaches focus on processing reactions to past harmful events and developing strategies to manage distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and together they will agree which methods to use and how to adapt them for remote sessions. This collaboration helps ensure sessions fit the client's aims and pace.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health issues and may allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and access from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these benefits while adapting exercises such as mindfulness, reflective discussion and trauma-informed strategies for remote delivery.
