Ana Caldeira

Please email me regarding availability or any other questions you may have. I aim to respond within two working days.

Welcome. If you’ve found your way here, perhaps something inside you is quietly asking to be seen and understood more deeply.

I offer a grounded, gentle space where you can slow down and begin to listen to what’s often left unspoken. I don’t believe healing means fixing what’s wrong. Instead, I see it as a process of befriending your full self, including the parts you’ve had to push away.

My intention is to honour your unique story, considering how identity, heritage, and cultural dynamics in relationships and society shape your experiences. I hold a space where you feel seen and supported to explore at your own rhythm.

How I Work

I am an experienced humanistic counsellor, and my approach is integrative, relational, and embodied. That means we explore your experiences not only through thought and emotion, but through your body’s wisdom, how patterns live in sensation, gesture, and breath. Awareness is central: the kind of awareness that arises moment by moment in the room, and the kind that deepens over time as trust and connection grow.

Working in this way can support you if you’re carrying the effects of relational trauma, identity pain, early wounding, or if you feel stuck in patterns that are hard to explain but deeply felt.

What We Explore

Sometimes, when our early environment didn’t give us space to fully feel or express ourselves, we developed protective patterns to help us cope. Over time, those patterns can get stuck in our bodies and minds, shaping how we relate to ourselves and others, often in ways that no longer serve us.

You might find these patterns show up as tension, overthinking, people-pleasing, feeling disconnected, or difficulty trusting yourself or others.

What To Expect

In therapy, we can slow down enough to feel into those patterns and together, begin to notice, name, and relate to them differently. This opens space for something new: relief, reconnection, and a return to your own authentic expression.

We move at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with adults 18+ across a diversity of presenting issues. I offer weekly in-person or online therapy. Sessions last 50 minutes and are held weekly.

I have experience with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, depression, trauma, childhood sexual abuse, suicidal thoughts, low self-worth, identity and belonging concerns, Relationship and family difficulties, and issues related to intercultural dynamics and cultural identity.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´) and adhere to their ethical guidelines. I attend regular supervision to ensure I’m offering the best service to my clients, and participate in ongoing professional training to continue deepening and developing my practice.

Initial first Session

If this resonates and you are curious about the process, the first step is to get in touch. We can look at availability and schedule an initial session. 

 In our first initial session we can explore what brings you to therapy, how we can work together, and if we are a good fit. There is no obligation to continue after this session. and If we decide to move forward, we can agree on the practical details such as time/day.

Please feel free to contact me, I look forward to receiving your email.
