About Ana
Ana Andreea Haynes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem issues. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and Ana supports international clients.
Ana focuses on helping people make sense of difficult experiences. She listens without judgement and encourages clear, practical steps for coping. Where words are not enough, she uses expressive methods to help people access and name strong feelings.
Her background includes supporting women who have experienced physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and people working through substance misuse. She has also spent time working with survivors of trafficking and modern slavery, and she brings that experience to conversations about safety, boundaries and recovery.
Ana uses approaches that attend to attachment and present experience. She draws on Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas to help identify and sit with core feelings when relationships or self-image feel strained.
Sessions include practical mindfulness exercises and solution-focused steps to make small, achievable changes between meetings. People who feel overwhelmed by social situations, performance fears or low self-worth may find this mix helpful. To start, the site matching process asks a few brief questions and then invites booking of a first session.
How attachment, emotion and practical steps translate to online work
Ana draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. This approach helps when relationship habits, fear of abandonment or avoidant patterns make social situations harder to manage.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice core emotions and what they signal in close relationships and self-image. In addition, Solution-Focused techniques are used to set small, practical goals between sessions and track progress over time.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree which methods feel most useful. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise emotional exploration, attachment themes or concrete coping steps.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when stress levels suddenly rise. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to help people practise new responses to social anxiety, phobic avoidance and relationship difficulties.
