About Ana
Counsellor Ana Ochoa de Eribe is BACP registered and has 20 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and international clients are accepted.
Ana uses approaches that draw on different traditions to match what each person needs. In practice she sits with people to talk through current problems and past experiences that affect daily life. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication issues when these come up.
She also supports people facing caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and midlife questions. Practical topics such as guilt, shame, isolation and problems around control are included in her work. Ana offers space to look at issues linked to identity, culture and men's concerns as they arise.
Her sessions can cover mood disorders and recovery from trauma and abuse, along with helping people find more clarity about life purpose. She draws on psychodynamic, person-centred and transpersonal influences to do this, and also mentions a Christian perspective where relevant to the client.
Ana has worked in counselling for two decades and brings that direct experience to sessions. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before booking and then arranges a first session to begin practical work. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Ana often draws on person-centred work, which focuses on what matters most to the client and encourages clear, honest conversation about their current difficulties. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship problems by centring the client's experience.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and patterns shape present behaviour. This can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns and repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and decide together which methods fit best. That collaborative process shapes how sessions proceed and what to focus on first.
If you are considering online counselling, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow work in English or Spanish for international clients. Confirm practical details and formats when you schedule the first appointment.
