About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She uses a blend of approaches so sessions can be tailored to what each person needs. Her work often focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and help people feel more in control.
She draws on person-centred ideas to make sessions warm and non-judgemental. Mindfulness tools are introduced to help with stress, sleep and intrusive thoughts.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used when people need support noticing values and taking small actions toward them. Ana-Maria often meets people who feel stuck in repeating patterns or unsure about their next move. She breaks concerns into smaller pieces and helps clients try out different perspectives.
This makes goals feel more manageable and progress clearer. Trauma and abuse are among the areas listed in her work, and she pays attention to safety and pacing when those topics come up. She also supports people with issues such as addiction, grief, parenting-related strain and body image concerns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused but adapt to whatever the person needs that week. Ana-Maria speaks English and Romanian and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She aims to make starting therapy straightforward and practical for busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Ana-Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. ACT is practical and focuses on actions that move life forward even when feelings are difficult.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current trust and connection. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues and recurring relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods and help decide which fits a person's goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing or irregular schedules. These options aim to give flexibility and consistent access to therapy.
