About Ana
Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or carrying loss. She offers calm, attentive listening and helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions. Ana works in English and Spanish and practises online and in the United Kingdom.
Ana describes her practice as grounded in a person-centred way of working. She blends that with mindfulness and elements of existential thinking to help people reconnect with what matters to them.
How Ana works
Sessions aim to create space to notice strong emotions, make sense of difficult events and try small changes that feel manageable. She has seven years of experience and is accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. Ana has particular experience supporting people with depression, trauma and bereavement, including loss by suicide.
Her background includes work within NHS talking therapy services alongside independent practice. Ana also supports concerns such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, immigration-related worries and eating or food-related issues.
People who meet her can expect short, clear conversations about what is troubling them and practical, reflective steps to try between sessions. Outside work she enjoys nature, meditation and yoga, and she brings that calmer, grounded presence into her counselling style.

How Ana's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and how these shape close connections. It can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns, communication problems and processing painful emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the individual's needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits ongoing, flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while still accessing registered or accredited professionals.
