My name is Ana. Are you trying to cope with challenges in life? I help clients dealing with anxiety and reduce their levels of stress, which can have a positive impact on both emotional wellbeing and physical health. I encourage clients to adopt strategies and reframe negative thoughts, building a more positive perception of themselves and of life. I am also specialised in bereavement counselling and have volunteered with Cruse since 2017. I offer non-judgemental deep listening, while you find your own resources to cope with this moment in life. Through therapy, I can be the facilitator in your process of self-discovery. As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I apply different approaches according to your individual needs. My background as a yoga instructor also allows me to offer breathing techniques and mindfulness where this might be helpful.
