Ana Ochoa de Eribe

Ana Ochoa de Eribe is a BACP-registered psychotherapist and counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression, and also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment and life purpose.

She works in a conversational, person-focused way. Sessions look at current struggles and the feelings behind them. She draws on several approaches to help people understand patterns and make practical changes in their daily life.

Ana combines elements from person-centred and psychodynamic work to look at past experiences that shape present difficulties. She also uses transpersonal and faith-informed perspectives where appropriate, helping people link personal beliefs with emotional healing. This mix supports reflection and practical problem-solving rather than offering a single fixed method.

Practical matters such as communication problems, caregiving stress, grief after separation, and midlife doubts are common in her practice. She also supports people facing multicultural challenges and those coping with narcissistic relationships and feelings of isolation.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and Ana accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that may be cancelled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

Her approach aims to help people who feel stuck identify options and make small, workable changes. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what is happening now and what can be done next.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Ana draws on person-centred work, which focuses on listening closely to what a person is experiencing and helping them find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone wants space to talk things through and make decisions about next steps.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and early experiences shape present responses. That kind of exploration can help with recurring patterns in relationships, attachment concerns and issues linked to abandonment or shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods and agree which to try based on a person’s goals, preferences and immediate needs. The process is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.

Practical advantages of online sessions include easier fitting of meetings into a busy week and the option of shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Since the specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often find online work helps people sustain regular contact when life feels hectic or travel is difficult.
