About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She holds BACP registration, and works in English and Romanian. Ana-Maria focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next.
Ana-Maria uses an integrative approach that adapts to each person. She draws on client-centred methods and mindfulness to build a therapy style that fits the individual. Sessions aim to be warm, straightforward, and free from judgement.
Background and approach
People come to her for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and stress. She also supports those facing grief, addiction, sleep or eating problems, and the strain of caregiving. Ana-Maria will talk through immediate coping strategies and longer-term patterns, depending on what the person needs.
In sessions she breaks problems into manageable steps. That can mean practical skills, new ways of looking at situations, or exercises to increase self-awareness. Conversation is paced to suit the client and to build confidence over time.
Ana-Maria accepts international clients and offers several online formats. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so therapy can be matched to their situation and preferences.
How Ana-Maria uses therapy approaches online
Ana-Maria combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in ways people can use during online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and to act in line with their values. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental conversation that helps people feel heard and understood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ana-Maria will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and the problems they want to address, and then adapt techniques to fit. That means practical skills when someone needs immediate coping tools, and gentler, exploratory work for deeper issues.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule sessions and keep continuity while working on anxiety, stress and related concerns.
