About Ana
Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She aims to create a calm space where individuals can talk through painful experiences and begin to find more balance. Ana communicates in English and Spanish and draws on seven years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
She blends a person-centred way of working with existential ideas that help people reflect on meaning and values.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on what matters to the person now, and on small steps they can try between meetings. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques are used to help ground strong feelings and improve emotional connection with oneself. Ana has a Professional Accredited registration with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown as NCPS.
She also completed Practitioner-level training in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression through METANOIA Institute. These credentials shape how she organises sessions and tailors support. Her background includes work in NHS Talking Therapy Services alongside independent practice and online work.
That mix has given experience supporting people through bereavement, complex trauma, depression and compassion fatigue. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, career questions and life-purpose reflection. Outside work she values nature, meditation and yoga and is training as a yoga teacher.
That personal practice informs a calm, reflective style in sessions and a focus on practical, day-to-day coping strategies.

Online support
How Ana blends therapeutic approaches online
Ana commonly draws on Existential Therapy to help people reflect on life meaning, values and the choices they face. This approach is useful for those questioning purpose, coping with life changes or feeling isolated.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own way forward. That style is suited to emotional struggles like depression, grief or low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) appears in her work to help people notice and work with strong feelings, which can improve how they relate to themselves and others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ana will discuss options with each person and try methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide what to focus on and adapt the work as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging allows for flexible, ongoing contact. These choices aim to make counselling accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
