About Ana

Ana Ochoa de Eribe offers support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain. She is a BACP counsellor with twenty years' experience who helps people explore difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward. Ana speaks English and Spanish and works with people from different cultural backgrounds, including those focused on men's wellbeing.

Her style is warm and practical. Sessions aim to be a place to talk things through, notice patterns, and try small changes that make life easier. She uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to each person's needs rather than applying a single method.

Ana draws on person-centred ideas to build a trusting relationship. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. Transpersonal perspectives and Christian approaches appear in her work when they fit a client's values and goals.

She has supported people through grief, separation, career change and relocation. Ana also works with issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, guilt and shame, care-giver stress, communication problems and midlife crises. Her practice includes helping people think about life purpose and reduce isolation.

Sessions are framed around what the person wants to achieve. Ana offers both short-term and longer-term work and can include focused exercises or reflective conversation depending on the client. International clients may be seen; prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Ana uses a small number of complementary approaches and adapts them to each person. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship so clients can say what matters most. This approach suits people wanting a steady space to think things through.

Psychodynamic ideas help people recognise patterns that come from earlier life experiences and how those patterns affect current relationships and feelings. This can be useful for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment worries and repeating relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ana will discuss options with each person and agree a way forward together, adjusting the method as goals and needs become clearer. The process is collaborative and guided by what the client finds most helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caring duties and can allow sessions in quieter surroundings. As the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current options before booking.
