Ana Fay, NCPS

Ana Fay is a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk and make sense of hard experiences. She keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her, listening closely and helping them find practical steps forward.

Her work is grounded in approaches that value relationship and presence. She often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Trauma-focused methods are used when people bring histories of abuse or injury, including traumatic brain injury-related concerns where these are part of a persons story.

Mindfulness and existential thinking are woven into sessions to help clients notice what matters to them now. This can support those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. Ana also offers support around ADHD, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, chronic illness and carer stress.

Ana has three years of practice experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. She works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Her approach is collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps people choose the next steps that suit their life.

To start, she asks people to share what feels most urgent and what small changes they hope for. Conversations are practical and paced to each persons needs, with an emphasis on building awareness and usable strategies for day-to-day life.

Approach-led online counselling and practical support

Ana draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape present patterns, helping people notice repeated dynamics and try new, healthier ways of relating. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting, so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together choose methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy unfolds.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, because it removes travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who need quieter surroundings, want to avoid being on camera, or need to manage fluctuating energy due to illness or injury. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools from attachment, mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches to work well at a distance, helping people build practical skills and notice shifts in how they relate to themselves and others.
