About Ana-Maria

Ana-Maria Anica is an integrative psychotherapist who supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, and major life transitions. She combines several therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person - drawing on person-centered techniques and mindfulness to create a collaborative, practical style that meets individual needs.

Many clients come to Ana-Maria feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repetitive patterns, or uncertain about their next steps. In sessions she helps break complex problems into manageable parts, encourages exploration of new perspectives, and works with clients to develop tangible tools for coping, decision making, and building confidence.

Ana-Maria recognises that beginning therapy can be intimidating, so she focuses on offering a warm, non-judgemental environment where people can move at a pace that feels right for them. Whether the immediate goal is to learn coping strategies or to examine deeper long-term patterns, she adapts the work to suit the client’s priorities and timing.

With a practical, empathetic approach, Ana-Maria aims to help clients regain a sense of control and clarity. She would be honoured to support individuals as they navigate change, improve relationships, and build greater emotional resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where motivation and direction are needed. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it explores relational needs, trust, and emotional bonds to improve intimacy and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, using empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel understood and can discover their own solutions; this approach supports self-esteem and personal growth.

Ana-Maria will collaborate with each client to find the best approach for their situation, goals, and preferences. Deciding on a therapeutic style is part of the work together - she combines methods as needed and checks in regularly to make sure the chosen way of working fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts can be handled through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps clients fit therapy around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, and makes it easier to access registered professionals when in-person visits are difficult.
