About Ana
Ana Ochoa de Eribe helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters. Ana speaks English and Spanish and brings two decades of practice to each session.
Ana offers a calm, respectful space where worries can be spoken about without rush. She uses an integrative style and adapts the way she works to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused on practical steps and understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. Her background includes twenty years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy. Ana is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she lists among her professional details.
That experience informs how she guides people through anxious times or hard life changes. She supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication or control problems, and the impact of narcissistic relationships. Ana also helps with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, midlife concerns and mood disorders.
Sessions can work through past hurts as well as current pressures. The aim is to find manageable steps that reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Ana prefers a collaborative approach, helping each person decide what to try next.
How Ana uses talking therapies online
Ana works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to an online setting. She draws on person-centred ways of listening that help people feel heard and understood, which is useful for anxiety and relationship worries. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns coming from past experiences and how they affect present reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will discuss different options and try ways of working that suit the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging can be used for ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats give flexibility for people with busy lives or who live some distance from a therapist.
