Ana Andreea Haynes , BACP

Ana Andreea Haynes offers compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic support for people navigating trauma, abuse, addiction, and a wide range of life stresses. She walks alongside clients to help them make sense of their experiences and the environments that shaped them, creating space for reflection and emotional processing. Her background includes focused work with women who have experienced physical and sexual assault, emotional abuse, substance misuse, and trafficking related to modern-day slavery, and she brings that experience to bear when supporting survivors through recovery and ongoing challenges.

In addition to trauma work, she supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, bereavement, and self-esteem difficulties often rooted in bullying, critical parenting, or other adverse childhood experiences. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, addictions, parenting and fatherhood challenges, and a broad range of attachment-related difficulties. Gestalt-informed techniques are used where creative expression can help when words feel insufficient or overwhelming, and she recognises that each person brings a unique mix of history, strengths, and needs to therapy.

Ana holds BACP membership - a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and offers an empathetic, client-centered approach that emphasises respect, curiosity, and collaborative exploration.

Approaches to healing online and choosing the right fit

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, or recurring relationship problems to identify needs and form more secure connections.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with the emotions beneath interactions and helps partners or individuals access and express underlying feelings in ways that can transform bonds and reduce cycles of conflict and withdrawal. It is often useful for intimacy-related issues, relationship distress, and healing attachment wounds.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathic listening, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth. Through a supportive, non-directive stance, this approach can help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and developing clearer direction during periods of uncertainty.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. She will collaborate with each person to explore what methods feel most helpful based on their goals, history, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be taken by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, connect across distances, and maintain continuity of care when travel or schedules are challenging.
