Therapy can include looking at past relationships, exploring current behaviour, and practising new ways of relating. She also supports people dealing with separation, forgiveness, guilt, loneliness and issues linked to narcissistic dynamics.

Ana provides online work and accepts international clients. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching form and choose a time that suits them.

How Ana adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Ana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. One common approach is exploring early attachment patterns to understand current relationship difficulties; this helps people notice repeated emotional responses and try different ways of relating. Another approach is trauma-informed talking therapy, which focuses on creating steady, paced conversations that reduce overwhelm and help with symptoms of past abuse or painful events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and test what feels most helpful over the first sessions. Clients and therapist set goals together and review progress so the plan can change if needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need on-the-go access. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or different time zones while keeping the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work.
