About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress and life transitions. Ana-Maria also lists anger among the concerns she sees, alongside issues such as grief, addictions and sleep problems.
She describes an integrative style that combines client-centred work with mindfulness and other methods. In sessions she breaks problems into manageable steps and looks at practical ways to reduce reactivity and restore clearer thinking. Conversations focus on what feels most useful now, whether that is short-term coping or exploring longer-term patterns.
People come to her when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. She supports exploration of relationship patterns, attachment concerns and responses to loss or trauma. Sessions aim to make emotional responses easier to understand and respond to, rather than escalating outbursts or prolonged rumination.
Ana-Maria uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing alongside attachment-based ideas. That means work can include recognising values, noticing unhelpful cycles and experimenting with small changes in behaviour. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of bodily reactions and reduce impulsive responding.
She offers work in English and Romanian and notes that international clients are accepted. Practical tools, reflective conversation and paced exploration are the main features of her way of working.
How sessions work
How Ana-Maria uses therapy approaches online
Ana-Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to take small, values-driven steps even when emotions feel difficult. ACT often suits people struggling with repeated angry reactions or avoidance because it focuses on actions that matter more than trying to control every feeling.She also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape responses now. This work helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong anger or withdrawal and supports steadier ways of relating in current relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ana-Maria will discuss what feels most useful based on a person’s goals and preferences, and she works collaboratively to try methods that fit the client’s everyday life. That may mean short practical exercises, mindfulness practices or value-led experiments between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to help clients maintain continuity and to practise new ways of responding in real situations.
