About me

Hi, I’m Ana. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy MBACP and certified in EMDR and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.My interest in counselling grew from seeing first hand the impact that focused, well delivered therapy can have. When the right approach is used, real change is possible. That understanding continues to shape how I work today.I aim to offer a space where people feel heard and respected. Therapy should feel steady and clear, not overwhelming or confusing. It is a place to slow down, reflect, and begin to make sense of what feels difficult.My approach is integrative and trauma informed, recognising the connection between emotional wellbeing, relationships, and daily life.Whether working with individuals or couples, the focus is on helping clients feel clearer, more confident, and more in control of their lives. I welcome people from all backgrounds and aim to create a space that is thoughtful, professional, and inclusive.

Healing Journeys I Help Support

I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

Anxiety

Anxiety can show up as persistent worry, racing thoughts, or a constant sense of tension in the body. Many people experience anxiety at different points in life, especially during periods of stress or uncertainty. When it becomes overwhelming or begins to interfere with daily life, counselling can help you understand what is happening and develop ways to feel more grounded and in control.

When Anxiety May Show Up

• Constant worrying or overthinking
• Feeling on edge or unable to relax
• Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
• Physical symptoms such as tension, fatigue, or restlessness

How Counselling May Help

Counselling provides a calm and supportive space to explore what may be contributing to your anxiety. Together we can work on practical strategies that help regulate the nervous system, understand patterns of thinking, and build confidence in responding to difficult situations.

Resources

Below is a small selection of trusted resources to support your understanding and healing between sessions.
These are educational and not a substitute for therapy.

Apollo Neuro

Apollo is a discreet wearable device worn on the wrist, ankle, or clipped to clothing. It sends gentle vibrations to the body that signal safety to the brain, helping support relaxation, improve sleep quality, enhance focus, and reduce stress by gently regulating the nervous system throughout the day.Apollo Neuro

The MeacoDry Arete helps create a healthier sleep environment by reducing excess humidity and filtering the air with a HEPA filter. Balanced humidity and cleaner air can improve breathing, reduce allergens, and support deeper more comfortable sleep, an important foundation for mental wellbeing.MeacoDry Arete One (20L)
