About Ana
Ana Ochoa de Eribe is a registered psychotherapist and counsellor (BACP) with 20 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also lists additional focuses including abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress, communication and guilt and shame.
Ana uses a mix of person-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside transpersonal and Christian approaches. In sessions she helps people talk through difficult feelings, understand patterns from the past, and look at how these affect current relationships. Conversations are paced to what each person can manage.
Her work often looks at attachment and how early relationships shape self-blame, guilt and shame. She helps people name the experience and consider different ways of responding to it. Practical talk and reflection are combined so people can try out new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Ana has supported people through life transitions such as separation, bereavement and career change. She also offers help with isolation, midlife questions, and multicultural concerns. Sessions can include exploration of values and meaning when that is relevant.
She works in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To start, people use the online booking route to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Ana draws on person-centred work, which focuses on listening closely and helping people speak about what matters to them. This approach is useful for unpacking guilt and shame and for building clearer self-understanding.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repetition and patterns that come from past relationships. That can help people see where old feelings are affecting current choices and relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ana will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try based on needs, goals and what feels manageable. Therapy is collaborative and adjusted as understanding grows.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. They also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and avoid the need to travel to appointments, which can help keep regular contact over weeks or months.
