About Maitena
Maitena Anda is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked in the UK for 12 years helping people who are stressed, anxious or struggling with depression. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, and people navigating LGBT concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the client. Conversations and any plan are shaped around real-life needs, not a fixed template.
Background and approach
Maitena uses ideas from attachment work and client-centred practice to build trust and clarity. She also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives when people want to look at meaning, identity and deeper patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, grounding and calmer thinking.
She works with people who are dealing with family conflict, parenting stress, blended family questions, fatherhood issues and relationship worries. Additional concerns supported include abandonment or attachment problems, body image, codependency and dissociation. Maitena makes space for the complex mix of feelings that come with separation, divorce and family of origin issues.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. Maitena accepts international clients and offers a range of online formats to suit different lifestyles. If you want to try talking things through, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Online support
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor follows each individual's pace and priorities, offering acceptance and reflective listening so people can find their own solutions to stress, low self-esteem or relationship concerns.
Existential ideas are used when someone wants to look at life purpose, identity or meaning. These conversations can help with feelings of emptiness, commitment worries or big life transitions by exploring values and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the style if something else suits you better. That collaboration helps build a plan you can actually use.
Online therapy is offered by registered or accredited professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different time zones and varied schedules.
