Ana-Maria Anica , BACP

Ana-Maria Anica is an integrative psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a blend of therapeutic methods to tailor work to each person's needs.

Ana-Maria works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress, and the challenges that come with life transitions. Her approach combines person-centered listening and mindfulness practices with other evidence-informed techniques, allowing sessions to focus on practical coping strategies as well as deeper exploration of long-term patterns.

Many people seek her support when they feel overwhelmed or stuck in repeating behaviours. In sessions she helps break concerns into manageable parts, introduces tools to build confidence and emotional regulation, and encourages new perspectives that support change. She matches the pace of therapy to what feels most comfortable for each individual.

Ana-Maria aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings and make realistic plans for moving forward. She offers collaborative, empathetic guidance for those working on immediate coping needs as well as for people interested in longer-term personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Ana-Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, accept difficult emotions, and build committed action toward a more meaningful life. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where worry or avoidance get in the way of living fully.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore self-understanding, confidence, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Ana-Maria works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the style of sessions as work evolves.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support across different locations, and continue work between sessions with tools and guidance from licensed professionals and therapists.
