About Ana-Maria

Ana-Maria Anica works on relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes using an integrative approach that draws on client-centred methods and mindfulness. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice experience in the United Kingdom.

Ana-Maria offers straightforward, practical sessions. She helps people name patterns that cause distress and breaks problems into manageable steps. Sessions include talking things through, developing coping strategies, and practising simple mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.

Her work often addresses concerns around attachment, abandonment and blended family issues, as well as problems with self-esteem, intimacy and communication. She also supports people facing bereavement, addiction, caregiving stress, eating or sleeping difficulties, and major life transitions.

Ana-Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take committed steps, and attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She mixes motivational interviewing techniques when people want help with change, and narrative approaches to reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Ana-Maria uses approaches in online counselling

Ana-Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps towards those values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety and situations where someone feels stuck.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current behaviour and feelings. This can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and difficulties that stem from abandonment or attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana-Maria will discuss different methods and agree a plan that fits the client's goals and preferences, so therapy is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer video to read non-verbal cues, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or to avoid being on camera; these practical differences can shape how sessions are organised.
