About Maitena Anda

Maitena Anda brings 12 years of professional experience to her counselling practice in the United Kingdom and works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts. She approaches each person with sensitivity and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around the specific needs presented rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Maitena emphasises respect and careful listening as the foundation for therapeutic work, and she adapts her style to match each client’s pace and priorities.

Holding accreditation with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she draws on that professional framework while collaborating with clients to explore practical ways forward. Maitena recognises that taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and she values the decision to begin that process. Her work focuses on creating a tailored, thoughtful therapeutic experience aimed at helping people manage current challenges and build more resilient relationships and coping strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Maitena Anda



Maitena integrates attachment-based work to explore how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and connections - this approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on providing empathic listening and nonjudgmental support so clients can lead exploration of their own goals and solutions; this is useful for building self-esteem, coping with stress, and clarifying relationship needs. In some cases she may bring existential perspectives to help clients examine meaning, choice, and personal responsibility when facing emptiness, life transitions, or identity questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maitena works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options and adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains aligned with what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reach people in different locations, and continue continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Registered professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques to each online format to support meaningful progress and practical coping strategies.
