Ana Andreea Haynes , BACP

Ana Andreea Haynes offers warm, compassionate counselling that centres the person rather than the problem. She uses a client-centred way of working to help people feel heard and understood. Ana draws on approaches that explore attachment and emotion to make sense of difficult experiences. She speaks English and Romanian and is based in the United Kingdom.

Ana has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. She has particular experience supporting women who have experienced abuse and trauma, including physical, sexual and emotional harm, and has worked with people affected by substance misuse and modern slavery. She also helps with grief, depression, anxiety and anger.

Her practice pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Attachment-based work looks at those links and how they affect communication and trust. Emotionally-focused ideas are used to help people name and move through strong feelings rather than get stuck in them.

Sessions can include creative expression when words do not feel enough, and simple mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system. Solution-focused steps are used when practical change is needed, and the pace is set by the person in the room. Ana aims to offer a non-judgemental space to talk through painful memories and to plan small, achievable next steps.

People who come to Ana often want help with self-esteem, relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, or addiction-related concerns. She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

How Ana's approaches translate to online therapy

Ana blends attachment-based and emotionally-focused ways of working to help people understand their relationships and feelings. Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed early in life and how they appear in current relationships, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, trust or communication problems. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people identify and move through strong emotions so they stop getting trapped in cycles of avoidance or conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ana works collaboratively to explore what feels most helpful, using the client's goals and preferences to shape sessions. She may try different techniques over time and will check in about what is or is not working so adjustments can be made together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expression and body language, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family commitments and different time zones.
