About Ana

Ana Andreea Haynes is a BACP counsellor who offers compassionate, non-judgemental listening to help people make sense of their experiences. She invites a calm, steady presence so clients can talk about painful events and daily stresses without feeling rushed. Ana works in English and Romanian and accepts international clients, offering support to people navigating many difficult life issues.

Her background includes several years supporting women who have survived abuse and trafficking, and she has worked with people facing substance misuse. She also helps with anxiety, depression, anger, bereavement and struggles with self-esteem that often come from bullying or harsh parenting.

Ana draws on Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to help people understand their patterns in relationships. She uses Client-Centred and Solution-Focused ways of working to keep sessions practical and rooted in what the client wants to change. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with grounding and managing distress.

In sessions she listens for the stories that shape current reactions. She encourages clients to notice bodily reactions and feelings, and to name what they need. Sometimes creative expression is used when words feel too little or too much. Ana aims to help people build clearer boundaries, healthier connections, and more reliable self-care.

She has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and readers should confirm the available session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Ana uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and notice where safety and boundaries feel hard to find. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to help people access and name strong feelings, and then use those emotions to change how they relate to others. Client-Centred Therapy grounds the work in acceptance and clear listening, giving clients space to lead the conversation and set priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then tailor methods that fit. That might mean combining attachment ideas with practical solution-focused steps, or using brief mindfulness practices to manage overwhelming moments. The decision is collaborative and revisited as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can reduce time spent commuting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose a setting that helps them concentrate. Many registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to keep continuity of care for people who live some distance away or who find visiting an office difficult.
