About Maitena
Maitena Anda is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 12 years of professional experience. She works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English and Spanish. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety and related concerns, and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.
Maitena keeps sessions simple and direct. She listens first, then adapts conversation and techniques to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while helping them name and work through what feels hard right now. Her background spans relationship and family tensions, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also supports concerns such as self-esteem, parenting strain and topics connected to neurodiversity and attachment.
These areas come up often in her day-to-day work. Maitena draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships still affect feelings today.
She applies client-centred skills to create a calm, accepting space for whatever comes up. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also appear in sessions when they suit a person's goals. People meet her for both short-term problem-solving and longer conversations about life patterns.
Sessions can run by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and book a time that works for them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions use this framework to help people notice repeated patterns and try different ways of relating in daily life. Client-centred therapy focuses on providing empathic listening and acceptance so the person can lead the pace and topics of the conversation; this approach helps when someone needs a calm space to make sense of difficult emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which mix of methods best fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation helps shape how each online session is run and what techniques are introduced over time.
Online therapy is offered by registered or accredited professionals and includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging can fit brief updates or ongoing reflection. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
