About Maitena
Maitena Anda is a counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Maitena also helps those dealing with relationship and family concerns, LGBT-related issues and intimacy-related worries.
Maitena keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens first and adapts her approach to each person. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change.
Background and approach
The tone is calm and direct so people can talk without jargon. Her method draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred principles that put the client's perspective at the heart of the work.
Mindfulness ideas are brought in to help with stress and grounding during difficult moments. Maitena often works with issues linked to family of origin, blended family adjustments, fatherhood concerns and parenting stress. She also supports people with abandonment or attachment worries, body image and codependency patterns.
Autism and avoidant personality features are considered sensitively when they affect daily life. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Maitena aims to create a steady environment where parents and individuals can talk through worries and plan small, practical steps.
She encourages people to take manageable actions between sessions and to check progress along the way.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and emotional needs; online sessions can help identify repetitive dynamics and build different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the client's experience at the centre, offering a listening space where the counsellor follows the client's pace and concerns. Mindfulness-based ideas teach simple attention and grounding practices that reduce stress and help manage intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to choose which methods feel most useful, and she will adjust the plan as goals and needs change. This collaborative process helps clients try different ways of working without pressure.
Online sessions via video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when someone needs less bandwidth or a quieter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options offer flexibility so people can fit counselling around work, parenting and travel commitments.
