About Maitena

Maitena Anda is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP, and works in English and Spanish. Maitena focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse concerns.

She also supports people facing difficulties with relationships, intimacy and family conflicts. Her work includes helping those dealing with LGBT issues, grief, parenting strains and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Maitena addresses complex themes such as abandonment, attachment issues and dissociation when they come up in sessions. Maitena draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape conversations that feel practical and human. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present ones.

She offers client-centred listening so the person’s priorities guide the pace and focus of the work. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful. Maitena will tailor dialogue and plans to each individual’s needs and circumstances.

She emphasises sensitivity and compassion while working at a pace that suits the client. People can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging as session formats. International clients are accepted and the goal is to find a way of working that fits day-to-day life and personal commitments.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Maitena encourages people to notice that deciding to explore therapy is a meaningful start.

Ways of working Maitena names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people notice repeating problems in trust, closeness or separation.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s priorities at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace to explore what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maitena will discuss different ways of working and will collaborate with each person to choose what feels most useful. That choice can change over time as goals and needs develop.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when a headset or simpler connection is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are options for shorter check-ins, paced reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life without a long commute.
