About Ana

Ana Fay is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works from a person-centred perspective. She focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Ana encourages clients to notice their strengths and to make choices that feel right for their lives.

She draws on approaches that pay attention to attachment, trauma, mindfulness and existential questions. That lets her work with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. Ana also supports people dealing with ADHD, chronic illness, addictions and relationship or intimacy worries.

In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and practical steps. People often look at patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves. She helps them develop self-awareness and small, manageable ways to cope day to day.

Ana has three years of experience and holds NCPS, which is shown as her credential. She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and with long-term health conditions, including autism and chronic pain.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. To begin, readers are invited to start the process online by completing the matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Ana uses a person-centred way of working alongside attachment-based and trauma-focused thinking. Person-centred practice means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people find their own answers and make changes at their own pace. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current problems, which helps with relationship, intimacy and abandonment issues. Trauma-focused work addresses the effects of past hurt and can offer structured ways to reduce the grip of painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which ways of working might suit them best. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work develops.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular sessions. Others choose online work because it can allow shorter check-ins, not needing to be on camera for every meeting, or easier scheduling across time zones for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain practical options when you begin the matching process.
