About Ana

Ana Fay is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who prioritises a calm, non-judgemental space. She uses a client-focused way of working to help people talk through stress, anxiety, anger and other concerns. Ana speaks English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present feelings. That helps when people are dealing with abandonment, intimacy worries, or attachment issues. Ana also uses trauma-focused work when needed to help people process past hurt at a pace that suits them.

Mindfulness techniques are part of her sessions to help steady overwhelming feelings and improve sleep. The client-centred stance means sessions aim to follow the person’s priorities rather than a fixed template. Ana encourages practical steps people can try between sessions, like simple grounding exercises and communication checks.

Her experience includes supporting people with ADHD, autism, chronic illness, bereavement and caregiver stress. She also works with those facing relationship or career uncertainty, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Ana stresses clear, down-to-earth conversation and gentle curiosity when exploring difficult topics.

Ana holds NCPS, which is shown as her professional credential. She has three years’ experience working in counselling and psychotherapy. To begin, readers can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Practical approaches for online therapeutic work

Ana often combines a person-centred stance with attachment-based and trauma-focused ideas. Person-centred or client-centred therapy means sessions follow the person’s priorities and pace, helping people feel heard and understood. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment or control issues. Trauma-focused therapy involves gently processing past hurt and building skills to manage intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide what methods to try. This is collaborative and may change over time as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, care duties and travel, and can reduce the time spent commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when someone just needs a brief review, or for audio-only sessions if video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt interventions like mindfulness exercises, grounding techniques and communication practice to an online setting to fit everyday life.
