About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience supporting adults. She works with people facing relationship and family difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, stress and adjustments in life. Sessions are conducted in English and Romanian and she accepts international clients.
Ana-Maria uses an integrative approach that blends person-centred ideas with mindfulness and other evidence-informed methods. In practice this means conversations that focus on what matters to the client, and simple techniques to calm the body and mind. She helps people break problems down and choose practical next steps.
People often come with worries about self-esteem, parenting strains, or feeling stuck in patterns. Ana-Maria will look at patterns of attachment and communication to understand how those issues show up in daily life. She also works with concerns such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, anger and intimacy-related issues.
Sessions aim to build clearer goals and realistic coping tools. The therapist uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing to support change in ways that fit each person. Work can include mindfulness practices, narrative exercises and conversations about values.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Ana-Maria offers an initial match process and a short questionnaire to identify priorities. That first step helps shape practical next moves and the pace of work going forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing small steps that match what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how these affect adult connections. It can be useful when loyalty conflicts, trust or blended family dynamics are getting in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods together. This is a collaborative process that aims to find what feels most useful for practical change and clearer communication.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family routines, work breaks or travel. They also offer ways to use shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited, and guided mindfulness practices you can try between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises for an online setting and suggest a pace that suits everyday life.
