About Ana
Ana Andreea Haynes is a counsellor who focuses on somatic ways of working alongside talking therapy. She draws on body-based awareness and a person-centred stance to help people feel safer in their bodies and make sense of hard experiences. She works in English and Romanian and is based in the United Kingdom.
Ana has three years of clinical practice supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and addictions.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing career changes, grief, parenting pressures and difficulties with intimacy. Her practice includes attachment-based ideas that look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She uses emotionally-focused and client-centred approaches to help people name emotions and feel heard.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to build moment-to-moment awareness and coping skills. In sessions she makes space for experiences that are hard to put into words. This can include working with past abuse, domestic violence, or complex responses such as dissociation and shame.
She also supports people exploring issues like body image, codependency, and control concerns. Ana holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She can meet people online by video or phone, and also offers live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin a course of therapy a person completes a short matching questionnaire and selects a time that suits them. The first sessions focus on what matters most and on planning practical next steps together.
How somatic and attachment ideas translate to online therapy
Ana combines somatic work with attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people connect with feelings and bodily sensations. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily signals and simple grounding practices to manage overwhelming states and support regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps identify new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood so individuals can find their own direction and make choices that fit their lives.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to try things out, notice what helps, and shape a plan together rather than follow a fixed method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for somatic and relational work. Video calls allow face-to-face contact for guided exercises and body awareness; phone sessions can feel simpler for emotional material; live chat and text-based messaging give an option for shorter, more frequent check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and distance while keeping the focus on what helps the person day to day.
