About Ana-Maria

Ana-Maria Anica is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience and a BACP accreditation. She works in English and Romanian and supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, stress and life transitions. Her style aims to be warm and non-judgemental so people can talk openly and at their own pace.

Ana-Maria uses an integrative approach that draws on person-centred ideas and mindfulness. Sessions focus on breaking problems into smaller steps so they feel more manageable. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try practical tools to regain a sense of control.
Many clients come when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Ana-Maria will listen and help map out what matters most to you, then agree small goals to work towards. She balances short-term coping strategies with exploration of longer-standing patterns, depending on your needs.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, parenting pressures, anger and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also works with issues such as attachment, codependency and caregiver stress.

Ana-Maria aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions are paced to suit each person, with attention to building skills that can be used outside appointments. If you want an approachable therapist who combines practical tools and reflective work, she offers an initial pathway to explore next steps.

How Ana-Maria uses therapeutic approaches online

Ana-Maria draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where people set the pace and focus. That way the conversation stays rooted in what matters to the individual, whether that is relationships, self-esteem or coping with loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most helpful, try different ways of working and adjust based on the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as her biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar setting or who need flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists can adapt tools like ACT and person-centred listening for effective remote sessions.
