About Ana
Ana Andreea Haynes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger and the after-effects of trauma. Sessions are carried out in English and Romanian and she accepts international clients.
She supports people who are coping with addiction, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem and life changes. Ana has particular experience working with women who have experienced abuse, including physical, sexual and emotional harm, and with people affected by trafficking and modern slavery. She also helps those dealing with parenting pressures, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her practice draws on attachment work and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centred ways of listening so people can make sense of their feelings without pressure. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with strong emotions and with grounding during moments of anger or panic.
Solution-focused steps are used when people want practical, short-term changes. Sessions can include talking, reflection and simple exercises to try between meetings. Ana describes therapy as collaborative work where she and the person plan what to try next based on what helps.
People who come to her often want help calming anger, repairing communication, or managing impulses that affect work and relationships. She aims to look at patterns that keep problems repeating and to try different, manageable ways of responding.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Ana draws on attachment-based work to look at how early connections shape current emotional reactions. This can help people understand why anger may feel automatic and how patterns in relationships keep repeating.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to name difficult feelings and to shift how emotions are expressed in close relationships. EFT-style work can be useful for managing anger that arises during arguments or when intimacy is strained.
Client-centred practice underpins the sessions, meaning the therapist listens without judgment and follows what the person brings. This helps people feel heard while practical steps are agreed together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss options and the likely next steps and will collaboratively choose methods based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That way the plan can change if something does not fit.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions need less bandwidth, while video sessions allow for visual cues during emotionally charged conversations. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits help maintain regular appointments and make therapy part of everyday life.
