About Maitena
Maitena Anda is a counsellor with BACP registration and 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those facing relationship and family tensions.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she works with international clients as well. In sessions she aims for respect, sensitivity and warmth. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs, not a fixed script.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns connected to attachment, identity and past hurts, then adapts the work to what matters now. Maitena draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas to build trust and safety. She uses mindfulness methods to bring attention into the present and Jungian and existential perspectives to look at meaning and life choices.
These tools are chosen to suit the person, not to follow a single approach. People come for help with grief, trauma and intimacy-related struggles. She also supports clients facing parenting strain, body image or identity questions such as LGBT concerns.
Practical steps and small experiments between sessions are often used to test what works. Her style is direct but compassionate. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins.
The aim is to make therapy understandable and manageable, one step at a time.

Online support
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental listening so clients can find their own solutions and clarify what matters to them.
Mindfulness methods bring attention back to the present moment. Simple breathing and noticing exercises are taught and can be practised between sessions to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and personality. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online formats offer flexibility and choice. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or poor internet makes video difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, step-by-step guidance and between-session support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
