About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a counsellor who has three years' experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She works with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people take small, practical steps toward feeling more confident.
She uses a blend of methods rather than one fixed technique. That can mean client-centred talking, mindfulness practices to calm the mind, and tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with values and action. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on building simple skills to cope better day to day.
People often come with issues such as grief, stress, self-esteem and parenting pressures. Ana-Maria also works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, addictions and eating or sleeping problems. Conversations can cover immediate coping strategies or deeper patterns that keep repeating.
In sessions she breaks problems into manageable pieces and explores different perspectives together with the client. She uses practical exercises and reflective listening to help people notice what is working and what isn’t. The aim is to leave with clearer choices and small, doable changes.
Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she accepts international clients. Ana-Maria is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.
How this counselling approach translates online
Ana-Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work alongside mindfulness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and understanding, giving people space to tell their story and feel heard. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress.Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. Early sessions are used to understand needs, try different techniques and agree what feels most useful. This collaborative process helps shape ongoing work so it matches goals and personal preferences.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people use practices such as mindfulness between sessions to build everyday habits. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor exercises and pacing to suit remote sessions and individual circumstances.
