About Ana

Ana Fay is an NCPS counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, ADHD, addictions, relationship issues, parenting and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.

Ana uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the centre of sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people name their struggles. That practical focus is paired with attachment-based ideas about how early relationships shape current patterns.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help calm overwhelming feelings and on trauma-focused methods when past harm affects day-to-day life. In conversation she aims to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build steadier routines that suit their situation.

Ana has worked with people who have autism, ADHD and long-term health conditions, and she supports adults facing caregiving strain, grief, workplace stress and sexual intimacy issues. She describes her work as collaborative and straightforward - talking through problems, clarifying goals, and testing small changes between sessions.

Practical matters are part of the work. Ana uses short assessments early on to understand history and priorities. From there she and the client agree how to proceed, checking in regularly about progress and whether the chosen ways of working remain useful.

How sessions work

How Ana combines therapeutic approaches for online work

Ana often blends person-centred work with attachment-based and mindfulness methods. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for general life stress, low mood and parenting-related strain. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current reactions and can help when recurring patterns cause conflict or distance in close relationships.

Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce intense anxiety and to increase present-moment awareness. These practices are short and practical, such as breathing exercises or brief grounding techniques to use between sessions. Ana will work with the client to decide which approach feels most helpful and will review this choice as therapy progresses; the selection is collaborative and adjusts to the client’s goals and preferences.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy day easier, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions that better fit different time zones for international clients. Practical benefits include being able to attend from a familiar setting and integrating techniques into everyday routines without promising a specific format.
