Ana Ochoa de Eribe

Ana Ochoa de Eribe is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Ana speaks English and Spanish and has worked in therapy for around 20 years.

Her approach is warm and person-centred. Sessions aim to give a calm space to talk and to make sense of painful experiences. She mixes different methods so the work fits each person rather than following one strict formula.

Ana uses person-centred listening alongside psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current feelings. She also draws on transpersonal and Christian perspectives when these suit a person’s values. This allows practical conversations about daily struggles and deeper exploration when needed.

People come to her for help with breakup and separation, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and navigating midlife changes. She also supports those dealing with narcissistic relationships and multicultural concerns.

Across sessions Ana focuses on building clarity, improving communication, and finding steps that fit everyday life. She offers both shorter-term work for specific problems and longer-term therapy for deeper change. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to Ana’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Ana works with a blend of person-centred, psychodynamic, transpersonal and Christian approaches. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping someone find their own solutions, useful for anxiety, low mood and isolation. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships shape present reactions, which can help with attachment, abandonment and repeating patterns. Transpersonal and Christian perspectives bring meaning-focused discussion into therapy when that matches a person’s values and life purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods as the work develops. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client explore what helps most over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time and allow regular check-ins from different locations. It also lets people choose quieter or shorter sessions when needed, and can be a practical way to keep momentum between in-person meetings if those are arranged.
