About Ana
Ana Ochoa de Eribe offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family matters, trauma and abuse, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and brings two decades of counselling experience to sessions. Ana aims to help people find steadiness and a clearer sense of purpose when life feels overwhelming.
Ana uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. Sessions tend to focus on listening, understanding patterns in relationships, and exploring feelings that have arisen from past experiences. She encourages practical steps people can try between meetings to test new ways of coping.
Her background includes long experience working with emotional crises and life transitions. That experience informs how she supports people through separation, bereavement, career changes, and cultural adjustment. Ana also pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and issues around trust and control.
People who come because of parenting or family strains can expect conversations about communication, roles, and boundaries. Ana also addresses caregiver stress, guilt, shame, loneliness, midlife questions, and men's issues when relevant to the person's story.
Sessions are offered with an emphasis on collaboration. Ana aims to create a respectful space where clients can make sense of painful experiences, try new responses, and build on their existing strengths.
How Ana’s approaches translate to online work
Ana describes her practice as integrative, drawing on human-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside transpersonal and faith-informed perspectives. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client brings, helping people feel heard and make their own choices. Psychodynamic-informed work looks at repeating relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can help with attachment and abandonment themes.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Ana will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist explore goals together and try ways of working that match needs and preferences rather than sticking to one fixed model.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, cutting travel time, and keeping continuity when life requires flexibility. Others find shorter check-ins by phone useful for brief support, or video sessions better for face-to-face conversation; Ana can help identify what fits each person’s day-to-day demands and energy levels.
