About Ana
Ana Fay is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space. She uses a straightforward style that helps people talk about what matters most to them. Ana aims to help clients increase self-awareness and build on their own strengths.
She communicates in English and Spanish and practices in the United Kingdom. Her work commonly addresses stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people processing trauma and abuse, grief and life changes.
Background and approach
Ana has experience with ADHD, autism, chronic illness and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also helps with boundaries, addiction-related concerns and self-esteem struggles. Ana draws on attachment-based and trauma-focused ways of working when relationships and past hurts are central.
She uses client-centred methods to keep the conversation rooted in each person’s priorities. Mindfulness and existential ideas help people tune into values and small, manageable changes. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.
Ana listens, reflects and offers practical ideas when they fit the client’s goals. She aims to support people to notice patterns, try different responses and build clearer choices in day-to-day life. Ana has three years of clinical experience and holds NCPS as her listed credential.
Her approach is collaborative, and she encourages people to ask questions about the process before booking. If you prefer Spanish, she can work in that language.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Ana blends person-centred practice with attachment-based and trauma-focused elements to meet different needs. Client-centred therapy centres the conversation on what matters to the person, helping them find their own pace and answers. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in important relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current feelings and choices. Trauma-focused approaches provide ways to address past hurting experiences and to develop coping strategies for distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will talk with each person about goals, history and what feels most useful. She aims to adapt methods over time, combining listening, practical steps and reflective exercises so the plan fits the client’s aims and preferences.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and can reduce travel time. It also allows for different ways of checking in - shorter phone or audio sessions, or longer conversations by video - depending on what works best for practical day-to-day routines.
