Ana Fay
Compassionate person-centred counsellor
About Ana
Ana Fay uses a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and life changes. Ana works in English and Spanish and brings three years of clinical experience to her work.
Her background includes supporting people who identify as LGBT and those managing ADHD, autism and chronic illness. She also helps with relationship concerns, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career worries.
Background and approach
Ana focuses on practical steps that clients can try between sessions. In sessions she combines attachment-based thinking with trauma-focused tools. That means she pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how past harm still affects feelings today.
She uses mindfulness and client-centred listening to help people notice their thoughts and emotions without judgement. Ana describes her role as companion and coach rather than director. She helps people find their own answers and build on strengths.
Conversations can include short exercises, breath work, reflection and goal-setting tailored to each person's needs. Work is offered remotely through video calls, phone, live chat or text messages. International clients are welcome and Ana uses a subscription model that clients can cancel at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Sessions & fees
Attachment, Mindfulness and Trauma-focused work online
Ana uses attachment-based thinking to notice how relationship patterns shape current feelings. This approach can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and how to form healthier ways of relating.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple awareness exercises. Mindfulness helps with anxiety, sleep problems and stress by building the habit of noticing thoughts and bodily signals without immediate reaction.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm continues to affect daily life. These approaches aim to reduce distressing memories and build practical coping skills to manage triggers and painful emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then collaborate on a plan that fits the person. She treats therapy as a joint process and adapts methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
