Hi, I’m Ana.
I’m a Chartered, HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist working online in the UK. I specialise in supporting people going through big life changes in ways that affect mental health, relationships, or identity. These huge shifts often come with a sense of “Who am I now?” or “How do I live with this?” and people can feel very alone in that experience.
I have 15 years of experience of working in mental health and research, which has led me to work with people facing grief and bereavement, adjustment to physical health changes, living with chronic pain, or navigating life-stage changes such as retirement. I have been able to witness exactly what we as humans can through when life as we know it suddenly changes; and crucially, what can help.
I’m drawn to this work because I’ve seen, time and time again, how processing these experiences and reconnecting with what matters to you can be genuinely transformative.
My approach is practical and evidence‑based, giving you clear steps rather than vague conversations. We’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, set meaningful goals, and work together to build the tools and strategies that help you move forward in daily life.
Clients often tell me they value the calm, compassionate space to reflect, combined with the practical skills‑training and tangible solutions to help them move forward.
I specialise in email therapy. This is a flexible, reflective format that some people find more accessible, especially if full live sessions are hard to sit through, if focusing is difficult, or they work best with time to think and reflect.
