Ana Ochoa de Eribe, BACP

Ana Ochoa de Eribe is a registered psychotherapist and counsellor with two decades of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. She works in both English and Spanish and brings a warm, compassionate presence to each session while tailoring therapeutic methods to the needs of the person seeking help. Ana holds BACP accreditation - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and she combines that professional framework with an integrative practice.

Ana uses a flexible mix of Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Transpersonal, and Christian-informed approaches to create a therapeutic plan that fits each client. Her practice includes individual therapy, couples work, group therapy, and specialist workshops that explore parent-child dynamics such as mother-daughter or father-son relationships. She also addresses addiction recovery and helps clients rebuild communication, manage caregiver stress, and navigate separation or bereavement.

Clients work with Ana to build emotional resilience, understand patterns connected to attachment or abandonment, and develop practical tools for managing stress and mood difficulties. Based in the United Kingdom and accepting international clients, she offers short-term or longer-term support aimed at helping people rediscover purpose, improve relationships, and move toward greater emotional wellbeing.

Ana commonly draws on Person-Centred therapy, which focuses on providing empathetic, non-judgemental support so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions - this approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and building self-esteem. She also uses Psychodynamic techniques to help people uncover and understand patterns from past relationships that influence current struggles, which can be particularly useful for attachment issues, recurring relationship difficulties, and unresolved trauma. Where appropriate, Ana integrates Transpersonal perspectives that attend to meaning, values, and life purpose to support broader personal growth and healing.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Ana works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Ana is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access across time zones. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives, support ongoing engagement during life transitions, and enable people who are based internationally to work with registered professionals without needing to attend in person.
