Anna-Lena Dube , BACP

Anna-Lena Dube is a BACP counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach. She blends practical, solution-focused tools with psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of current problems and past patterns. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and able to move forward.

She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Relationship difficulties, coping with life changes and challenges around body image also feature in her practice. Anna-Lena pays attention to attachment and to experiences of abandonment, adoption and foster care when these are relevant to someone’s story.

Her background in counselling and psychotherapy informs a flexible way of working. Sessions often include talking through patterns, noticing how past events affect current choices, and trying small practical steps that can change day-to-day life. She also invites conversation about lifestyle factors such as nature connection and nutrition when those topics matter to a client.

Anna-Lena has four years of professional experience and offers help for issues including caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. She aims to create a calm space where people can explore difficult feelings without judgement.

Sessions are offered in English and German and Anna-Lena accepts international clients. Her focus is on working with each person to find approaches that fit their needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Anna-Lena commonly combines person-centred work with solution-focused techniques. Person-centred counselling involves open, non-judgemental listening to help people clarify what matters most to them. Solution-focused work looks for small, practical changes and strengths that can be tried between sessions to see if they help.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences shape present behaviour. This approach helps when patterns repeat in relationships or when early attachment experiences affect how someone copes now. Together, these approaches aim to make sense of current struggles and build useful steps forward.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the therapy process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will discuss options, check what feels helpful, and adapt methods to fit a person's goals and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or flexible support around work and daily life. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different places.
