How Ana-Maria uses evidence-based approaches online
Ana-Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in ways that are easy to apply in everyday life. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values then choosing small actions that match what matters to you, which can help with anxiety, low mood and habit change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so someone can explore feelings and make decisions at their own pace.Finding the right method is a shared process. Ana-Maria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and try a way of working that fits. If an approach doesn’t feel helpful she adjusts the plan, working collaboratively to find what helps most.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes regular work on tools like mindfulness and ACT exercises easier to continue between sessions.
