Ana-Maria Anica
Supportive psychotherapist helping people find practical change
About Ana-Maria
Ana-Maria Anica is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and major life changes. Ana-Maria speaks English and Romanian and uses a practical, person-centred style to help people feel understood and able to act.
She combines methods such as client-centred therapy and mindfulness to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.
Background and approach
People are invited to talk at their own pace while developing coping strategies for stress, sleep problems, or difficult emotions. Many clients arrive feeling stuck or overwhelmed by repeated patterns. Ana-Maria helps break those patterns down and explores new perspectives together.
She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, addiction and intimacy-related concerns. Work can include practical tools for day-to-day life alongside deeper reflection on attachment, family experiences and personal values. Motivational techniques can be used to strengthen commitment to change and improve follow-through on goals.
Her approach is collaborative and adaptable. Sessions may focus on short-term coaching or longer exploration depending on what the person needs. Ana-Maria aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Sessions & fees
How Ana-Maria’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that line up with personal priorities, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this can mean exploring how past connections affect trust, intimacy and communication, and practising new ways of relating to others and to oneself.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will happen together. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether ACT, attachment work or a person-centred, mindfulness-infused style best fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, daily coaching or people who prefer writing rather than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and keep continuity when circumstances change.
