About Maitena
Maitena Anda is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, and supports people facing grief, trauma and intimacy challenges. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Maitena aims for a respectful and compassionate atmosphere. She adapts the conversation and the plan to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She emphasises clear, simple steps so people can try things between sessions and notice small changes.
Her practice pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current feelings and choices. She also draws on client-centred work that keeps the person’s experience central. Mindfulness and Jungian ideas inform how she looks at emotions and personal meaning.
Maitena often helps people dealing with codependency, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports those coping with parenting stresses, body-image concerns, and the emotional impact of separation and divorce. She uses practical conversation to help untangle repeated patterns.
People who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem or struggles in intimate relationships may find her approach straightforward and steady. She encourages collaborative goal-setting so therapy fits into daily life. To begin, follow the platform’s process to match and schedule sessions.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Maitena draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when people notice repeating patterns in close relationships and want to change how they connect.She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and pace. This is useful for building trust, exploring difficult emotions and deciding what change feels right.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maitena will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as understanding grows. She recommends a collaborative process to find what fits best for the issues being addressed.
If you are considering online therapy, check the platform’s session options before booking to confirm how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for different interaction styles such as speaking without video or shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find these practical features help maintain continuity and make weekly work more manageable.
