About Ana

Ana Fay is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space. She uses calm, attentive listening to help people notice their strengths and make choices that feel right for them.

She blends person-centred work with attachment-based and trauma-focused ideas to help with relationship patterns and past hurts. Sessions are grounded in practical conversation and reflective listening rather than jargon. Ana aims to help people build self-awareness and greater emotional stability.

Her background includes three years practising in the United Kingdom, working with people from varied backgrounds. She has supported those living with ADHD, autism, chronic illness and caregiver stress, as well as people facing anxiety, depression, grief and life changes. Ana uses plain language to keep therapy understandable and accessible.

In sessions she invites clients to notice patterns in their relationships and feelings. She uses mindfulness practices when they are helpful, and addresses trauma in a paced, careful way. The work often involves learning new ways to respond to stress and to communicate needs more clearly.

Ana holds NCPS as her listed credential. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule in line with her availability.

How Ana's approaches translate to online therapy

Ana works from a person-centred base that focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to each person. This approach helps clients feel heard and valued, and it suits conversations about life changes, self-esteem, relationships and ongoing stress.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape reactions today. That approach can be helpful for people wanting clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from repeating relational cycles.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Ana will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide which approaches and pace best fit the client’s needs rather than sticking rigidly to one method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life - it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it simpler to have sessions from different locations. Ana aims to work flexibly so therapy can slot into day-to-day routines while focusing on practical changes and emotional understanding.
