Ana Andreea HaynesBACP

Ana Andreea Haynes is a counsellor who centres her work on compassionate, non-judgemental listening. She invites people to talk about difficult experiences and helps them make sense of how those experiences affect daily life. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at putting people at ease during often hard conversations.

She has worked extensively with women who have experienced abuse and trauma, including physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and has supported people through substance misuse and modern slavery-related harm. This experience informs how she offers safety and pacing in sessions. Ana also helps people facing depression, anxiety, anger and bereavement.

Ana uses approaches that focus on relationships and emotions. Attachment-based ideas help look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports getting closer to and understanding core feelings. Client-centred listening gives space for each person to guide the pace and topics.

She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help with stress management and practical steps forward. That can mean short exercises to calm overwhelming moments or focused planning to meet immediate goals. Ana explains things simply and works at a steady, manageable pace.

Ana is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Romanian. If someone wants to explore pregnancy or childbirth-related worries, she includes those topics among her wider areas of support.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Ana blends attachment-based work with emotionally-focused and client-centred listening to help people understand feelings and relationship patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early connections influence current reactions and can be useful for anxiety, relationship difficulties and issues linked to past harm. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and processing core emotions so people can shift unhelpful patterns and feel more connected to their own needs. Client-centred listening gives each person space to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports their priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ana will talk with a person about their needs, goals and preferences and then adapt methods that fit those aims. That might mean focusing on emotion processing for some people or practical problem-solving and mindfulness exercises for others.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care for people living abroad, since she accepts international clients.
