About Ana
Ana Fay uses a client-centred approach to make therapy straightforward and respectful. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Ana speaks English and Spanish and is based in the United Kingdom.
She holds NCPS as a credential and has three years' experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Trauma, addiction and bipolar concerns are also part of her work.
How Ana works
Ana helps with relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, grief and the emotional effects of long-term illness. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses mindfulness to build calm and trauma-focused methods when painful memories need careful attention.
Sessions centre on the person's goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Ana aims to help people notice their own strengths and make changes at a sustainable pace. She offers listening, reflective feedback and practical coping strategies during sessions.
People who value empathy alongside clear steps often find this style useful. She works with a variety of concerns including ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, career stresses and compassion fatigue. Ana accepts clients internationally and offers sessions in English and Spanish via online formats.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

How Ana's approaches work online
Ana blends client-centred work with attachment-based and mindfulness approaches to guide sessions. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person's goals lead the work and the counsellor listens and reflects. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships influence current patterns and help people notice and change repeating behaviours.Mindfulness is used to develop present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity and build simple skills for managing stress and anxiety. These approaches suit people dealing with relationship struggles, grief, chronic illness or trauma-related symptoms. Ana will work collaboratively to find which methods fit a person's needs, preferences and goals rather than insisting on one route from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work with lower bandwidth, chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life or different time zones, and they allow Ana to support international clients.
