About Ana

Ana Ochoa de Eribe helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low mood using an integrative approach she describes as person-centred, psychodynamic, transpersonal and Christian. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 20 years' experience in practice.

Ana listens to what is happening now and looks at how past experiences affect present feelings. Sessions are described in everyday terms: talking through patterns, understanding reactions, and trying out different ways of relating and communicating. She also addresses issues linked to attachment, abandonment and caregiver stress where these affect current wellbeing.

Her work includes support for practical relationship problems such as communication difficulties, control issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness work after hurt. Ana also focuses on identity and meaning concerns including isolation, guilt and shame, midlife questions and life purpose. She notes particular attention to men’s issues and multicultural concerns.

Ana offers counselling in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. She uses both short-term and longer-term work depending on what the person needs, and runs workshops and group sessions as part of her wider practice.

Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Ana works with person-centred methods that focus on what the person brings to each session and aim to increase self-understanding and agency. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of emotions and personal choices.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at patterns rooted in past relationships and early experience, which can clarify repeated behaviour in current relationships. Transpersonal work is used to explore meaning, values and larger life questions when those issues are prominent.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and they will adjust methods as things progress in sessions. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as needed.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. If clients need a simpler check-in or prefer not to use video, discuss this directly to see what Ana currently offers. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match daily routines.
