Ana Ochoa de Eribe helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She has twenty years of experience and speaks English and Spanish, offering a calm, steady presence to those who feel overwhelmed. The first paragraph should make a worried parent feel understood and heard in simple language.

Ana uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and taking small practical steps forward. Work can include looking at attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, or the emotional impact of divorce and separation. She also addresses caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and issues around life purpose and midlife change.

Men’s issues and dealing with narcissistic behaviour are other areas she supports. Ana pays attention to how culture and background shape feelings and relationships. Therapy can be short or long term depending on needs.

Conversations explore patterns, feelings and practical choices, and aim to build clearer ways of relating to others. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s comfort. Ana works with people across the United Kingdom and with international clients in English or Spanish.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which lets people fit therapy into busy lives. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions via the Start Therapy button.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Ana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that look at how past relationships shape present feelings and how present choices can change day-to-day life. One common approach she uses focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, which helps people understand recurring patterns in relationships and learn new ways to connect. Another area of emphasis is working with mood and anxiety problems by breaking down overwhelming feelings into manageable steps and coping strategies that can be practised between sessions.

Choosing the right way of working is a joint process. The therapist and client discuss what feels most helpful, try approaches that fit the person’s goals, and adjust as needed. This collaborative set-up helps make sure the work matches the client’s values, culture, and practical needs.

Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or text messaging offers practical flexibility. Video sessions allow a face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and life commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
