Ana has helped me so much. She made me feel really very at ease as I felt anxious to talk to a stranger at first but soon felt comfortable. She has helped me with many issues from anxiety to low self esteem and helps keep me on track and focused. She gives me things that will help with my issues even when I’m not talking to her. I feel very grateful to have been put in touch with her. Would highly recommend 😊 More...

A professional yet kind and approachable therapist. Ana has helped me through my lowest period in life. It has taken me a lot to finally get help which I’m glad I did. Ana is easy to talk to and she has a way of making me realise that there’s always a way to work through my problems and issues. More...

Ana puts me at ease, and she listens . Her sessions are personal, as if she cares only about you. I have opened up about issues that were embedded in my subconscious for years and she offers simple solutions. I would highly recommend her .

I had Ana in a point in my life I had many problems and stress. She was great at making me feel at ease and was easy to talk to. She helped me to deal with certain situations and recommend things id never have done before and I turned out to thoroughly enjoy them and continue to do so. Ana has helped me to continue dealing with things without letting them causing me to be overwhelmed as i once was. Thank you Ana More...

What do you love most about your job?
I am passionate about making a positive impact on people's lives through my work. Helping others and addressing social issues are values that I hold dear. I am known for being approachable, empathetic, and reliable, which are essential qualities for a counseling role. My skills and interests align perfectly with the requirements of this job, reinforcing my belief that this is the right career path for me. Moreover, I have a strong desire to assist and support individuals through counseling and providing valuable information.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The allure of starting my own business stems from the countless benefits it offers. The freedom to manage my time, work from anywhere, and set my own deadlines are just a few aspects that inspire me. Additionally, I am motivated by the opportunity to become an expert in my chosen field, achieve financial independence, and establish a personal brand that resonates with others. The prospect of inspiring and motivating others through my journey is a driving force behind my decision to embark on this entrepreneurial path.
Why should our clients choose you?
Firstly, I am highly adaptable and open-minded, always willing to reassess and adjust my perspective to meet the unique needs of each client. I prioritize creating a genuine connection with clients, continually checking in on their experience rather than relying on preconceived notions. Furthermore, I am committed to my own growth and development, regularly attending therapy and seeking supervision to ensure that I am providing the best care for my clients. I am dedicated to my craft, consistently researching and expanding my knowledge to offer innovative possibilities and solutions. Additionally, my diverse skill set, including marketing, graphic design, and language skills, allows me to provide a well-rounded and comprehensive counselling experience. Lastly, I understand the importance of respecting clients' readiness for change and never pushing them beyond their comfort zone. I believe in working collaboratively with clients, supporting them at a pace that feels right for them.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I am pleased to offer my services online and remotely. The majority of my counseling services are conducted through video calls using platforms such as WhatsApp, Teams, or Zoom. This allows for a face-to-face interaction and a more personal connection with clients. Additionally, I also provide counseling services via phone calls and email, providing flexibility and convenience for clients who prefer these modes of communication. Rest assured, regardless of the method chosen, the quality of care and support remains consistent and effective.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
To ensure the safety of my clients during the Covid-19 pandemic, I have implemented several measures. Firstly, I have transitioned the majority of my services to remote counselling, minimizing the need for in-person interactions. Additionally, I strongly encourage clients to follow recommended safety guidelines, such as wearing masks, practicing proper hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing. I also advise clients to prioritize their safety by canceling non-essential trips and events and reducing unnecessary outings. By promoting these precautions, I aim to create a safe and secure environment for all clients.
