Ana-Maria Anica, BACP

Ana-Maria Anica is an integrative psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, and life transitions. She blends several therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs, combining client-centered listening with mindfulness and practical strategies that help break overwhelming problems into manageable steps.

She works collaboratively to explore patterns that keep people feeling stuck and to develop skills for coping and decision-making. Sessions focus on building clarity and confidence, whether the priority is short-term coping or exploring deeper, long-standing issues. Ana-Maria aims to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can move at a pace that feels right for them.

Ana-Maria holds BACP accreditation, the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy, and draws on evidence-informed techniques to shape an individualized style of care. For those facing stress, relationship strain, or transitions in life, she offers supportive guidance and practical tools to foster progress and greater self-understanding.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Ana-Maria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and supports taking value-driven actions - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their own solutions and grow in self-understanding - it is often helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ana-Maria works collaboratively to find what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might support those goals, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to schedule sessions alongside work, family, or travel. These options increase accessibility and allow the therapeutic work to continue from locations that suit the client, while supporting consistent progress and ongoing communication with licensed professionals.
