About Ana
Ana Fay is a person-centred counsellor who creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters. She uses a straightforward, respectful style that helps people feel heard and understood. Ana works in English and Spanish and is based in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and brings three years of practice to her work.
Her sessions focus on the person in front of her rather than rigid techniques. She listens for what each person needs and helps them build awareness of patterns, feelings and choices. This often includes exploring attachment, strong reactions after trauma, or ways to manage anxiety and depression.
Ana also supports people coping with serious life events, including ageing, long-term illness, cancer and end-of-life concerns. She helps carers and those facing changes find practical ways to cope and make decisions that fit their values. Conversations may cover relationships, grief, or everyday pressures such as work and parenting.
Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas can be brought in when they suit the person’s goals. Ana aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes. Her tone is collaborative and down-to-earth, with attention to the real-life steps people can take between sessions.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Ana generally responds promptly during working hours and welcomes international clients seeking support.

How Ana's approaches translate to online counselling
Ana works from a person-centred perspective and often draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or recurring conflict.She also uses mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas when helpful. Mindfulness offers simple practices to reduce rumination and manage stress. Trauma-focused approaches help people process difficult memories in a paced, supportive way so they feel less triggered by reminders of the past.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as people notice what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by avoiding travel time, making shorter check-ins possible, or allowing sessions during a lunch break. It also lets people connect from another location when that suits their schedule.
