About Ana
Ana Andreea Haynes offers calm, compassionate counselling that centres the person's experience. She uses a person-focused approach and listens without judgement. Ana aims to help people make sense of painful events and find practical steps forward.
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong feelings get in the way of connection or self-understanding. Ana also uses Client-Centred and Solution-Focused ideas to keep sessions grounded and goal-oriented.
How Ana works
Her background includes focused work with people who have experienced abuse, trauma and exploitation, and with those affected by substance misuse. She also supports people facing depression, anxiety, anger and bereavement. She pays attention to how self-esteem issues can come from bullying, harsh parenting and other adverse childhood experiences.
Ana has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential. She works in the United Kingdom and can meet people in English or Romanian. International clients are accepted.
Sessions combine talking and practical exercises. Where words feel too much or not enough, she is open to creative ways of working. People can expect a steady, collaborative focus on what they want to change and small, achievable steps toward those goals.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online counselling
Ana commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. This approach can help when people notice repeated difficulties in close connections or struggle with trust and emotional closeness.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, a method that helps people name and work with strong emotions. EFT is useful for processing intense grief, trauma responses and persistent anxiety that affects daily life. Client-Centred principles guide the tone of sessions, so the person's priorities lead the work and the counsellor follows their pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Ana will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the counsellor see non-verbal cues and support deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for steady check-ins, note-taking between sessions or when someone prefers writing rather than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
