Ana Ochoa de Eribe

Ana Ochoa de Eribe is a counsellor with 20 years' experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and works with concerns such as attachment, abandonment, narcissism and caregiver stress. Ana aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them and find clearer ways forward.

Her approach is integrative and tailored to each person. Ana draws on person-centred listening alongside psychodynamic and transpersonal ideas to understand patterns that keep people stuck. She also offers a Christian perspective when that fits a client’s values. Sessions focus on practical next steps and understanding feelings more clearly.

Ana has spent two decades supporting people through life transitions like separation, bereavement and career change. She also helps with communication problems, guilt and shame, midlife questions and men’s issues. Her work includes exploring family dynamics and how early attachments shape adult relationships.

In sessions Ana helps people spot repetitive patterns, name painful emotions, and try new ways of relating. She balances deep listening with grounded, achievable goals. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to Ana’s availability and the subscription-based session model in use.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Ana draws on person-centred work that emphasises warm, attentive listening and helping people feel heard. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through stress, relationship worries or grief. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeated patterns from earlier life and how they affect current relationships, which can open up new ways of relating. The transpersonal perspective brings attention to meaning and purpose, which can help people facing crossroads or midlife questions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Ana will discuss options with each person and agree a way forward that fits their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as sessions progress.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions in the evening for those who work during the day. Talk with Ana about practical arrangements so sessions suit everyday routines and needs.
