Ana Andreea Haynes, BACP

She believes in the power of compassion and non-judgmental listening, offering a steady presence for people who need someone to walk alongside them as they make sense of their experiences and the world they have lived in.

Ana Andreea Haynes has a strong background working with women who have survived physical and sexual assault as well as long-term emotional abuse. She has supported people addressing substance abuse and, for several years, has worked with women affected by trafficking and modern-day slavery. Her practice also extends to common concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, and bereavement.

Self-esteem difficulties are another area of focus, particularly when those struggles stem from bullying, harsh parental criticism, or other adverse childhood experiences. Where words alone feel insufficient or overwhelming, she uses creative expression techniques drawn from Gestalt traditions to help clients access and process emotions in other ways.

Her approach recognises that each person brings unique life events and meanings to therapy. She works from a nonjudgemental stance that blends compassion with practical attention to each person’s needs, helping clients explore change and build coping strategies that fit their lives.

Attachment, emotion work, and online therapeutic support

Ana Andreea Haynes draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand connection, trust, and closeness and is often useful for relationship difficulties and attachment wounds. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients identify, express, and reorganise emotional responses within relationships - EFT is practical for couples work and for individuals wanting to shift entrenched emotional patterns. In addition, her client-centered stance ensures sessions remain guided by the person’s experience, emphasising empathy, respect, and the client’s own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online work with licensed professionals offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access regular support around work, family, or travel commitments and allow therapists to adapt session length and style to what works best for each person.
