Maitena Anda, BACP

Maitena Anda is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 12 years of professional experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates a recognised standard of training and practice. She specialises in helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate LGBT-related concerns, resolve relationship difficulties, and address family conflicts, tailoring her work to each person's circumstances.

She works with sensitivity and respect, adapting conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Her approach places emphasis on listening carefully, understanding each client’s context, and collaborating to find practical, meaningful ways forward.

Maitena acknowledges that beginning therapy can require courage and takes a supportive stance toward people at that first step. She aims to create a compassionate environment where clients can explore challenges, build insight, and develop strategies for change at a pace that feels right for them.

Approach-focused online therapy with flexible session options

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of connection affect current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps people work through issues like attachment difficulty, abandonment concerns, and repeated relationship patterns by exploring how they relate to others and building more secure ways of connecting.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, non-judgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and acceptance while the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. It suits people seeking support with self-esteem, grief, depression, and developing clearer personal goals.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without being overwhelmed by them. It can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and moments of intense emotion by cultivating present-moment awareness and grounded coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Maitena works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as the work progresses.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility and make it easier to access ongoing support across different time zones and schedules. These options allow registered professionals to provide consistent, supportive therapy that fits into everyday life.
