About Ana
Counsellor Ana Andreea Haynes is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and a wide range of life difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she accepts international clients.
Ana focuses on listening without judgement and helping people make sense of what has happened to them. She has significant experience supporting women who have experienced physical and sexual assault, emotional abuse, trafficking and modern slavery. She has also worked with people dealing with substance use and addiction issues.
She helps people who are coping with grief, depression, anger and difficult life changes. She also works with relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting strains and issues around body image and eating. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, bipolar difficulties, compassion fatigue and career concerns.
Ana draws on approaches that include attachment-based work, emotionally-focused ideas, client-centred therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. She uses these to focus on present concerns, patterns in relationships, and how early experiences still affect daily life now.
In sessions she will listen, reflect and help identify small steps that might feel manageable. Practical tools and short exercises are offered when they fit the client's needs. The emphasis is on clear, straightforward conversation and on finding ways to cope better day to day.
Approach in online counselling and how it helps
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions. It can help when people notice repeated problems in relationships or feel unsafe with closeness. Emotionally-focused work focuses on the key emotions behind the behaviour and aims to name and sit with those feelings so they change how people respond. It is often used for strong relationship-related distress and problems with intimacy. Client-centred therapy concentrates on the person's experience in the room, with the counsellor offering listening and reflection so the client can find their own way forward; this helps when someone needs an open, non-directive space to sort out what matters.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will talk with each person about what feels helpful and try different methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and reviews progress together as therapy continues.
Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as none are listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, avoid travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, although the exact options should be checked during the booking steps.
