About Anna-Lena

Anna-Lena Dube is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and German, and she accepts international clients.

Anna-Lena uses an integrative style that combines person-centred listening, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused methods. In practice this means she encourages people to talk through what matters to them, reflects on patterns from the past that affect the present, and helps identify small steps that can change day-to-day life.

She also pays attention to lifestyle factors such as nature connection and nutrition and how they affect mood and energy. That can include talking about daily routines, ways to build steadier habits, and noticing how food and time outside influence feelings. These conversations are practical and grounded rather than theoretical.

Her experience includes supporting people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. She also works with issues such as codependency, communication problems, control and commitment worries, dissociation, divorce and domestic violence related concerns.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable aims. Anna-Lena helps people recognise unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of relating, and plan realistic next steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session through the site.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Anna-Lena combines person-centred work, psychodynamic reflection and solution-focused techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping clients clarify their own values and goals, which can help when someone feels directionless. Psychodynamic reflection looks at patterns from earlier relationships and life events that continue to shape feelings and choices. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on concrete, short-term steps to change routines and test new behaviours.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their current concerns and goals. That may change over time as priorities shift or progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for more flexible scheduling. Different formats also let people choose quieter conversation styles, shorter check-ins, or sessions without video if that helps them engage more comfortably.
