About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, stress and life transitions, and also supports a wide range of other concerns including trauma, addictions and parenting challenges.
She uses an integrative approach that blends person-centred ways of working with mindfulness and related methods. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as looking at longer patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations are kept straightforward and paced to what feels manageable for the client.
Clients often come with feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Ana-Maria breaks issues into manageable pieces and helps people try different perspectives. She offers tools for day-to-day coping alongside work on deeper patterns when that is needed.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas and motivational interviewing to support behaviour change and clearer values. Mindfulness is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian, and she also works with international clients. Ana-Maria uses a subscription booking model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Ana-Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas alongside person-centred work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and motivation. Attachment-informed work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for relationship difficulties and trust issues. Person-centred practice keeps the conversation focused on the client’s experience and priorities, and supports self-directed change.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ana-Maria will work with clients to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can adjust as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people begin therapy from a familiar setting and try approaches like mindfulness exercises or ACT tasks between sessions.
