Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez, NCPS

Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. She uses a gentle, person-centred style that helps people feel heard and make sense of hard times. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and can take place online or by phone.

Ana works in the United Kingdom and has seven years of experience. She holds NCPS credentials from the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Her practice draws on client-centred ways of working alongside mindfulness and existential ideas to help people reconnect with values and meaning.

In sessions she listens closely and follows the person's pace. She aims to create a space where someone can explore painful memories, relationship struggles, loss, or life changes without judgment. Conversations can include breath awareness and grounding exercises when helpful.

She has particular experience supporting people facing bereavement, depression, complex trauma and compassion fatigue. Ana also helps people with relationship and intimacy concerns, family of origin issues, career and life-purpose questions, immigration-related stress, and caregiving strain.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She works with each person to set goals and chooses practical steps that fit their everyday life. Outside work she practises yoga and meditation, which inform her calm and steady style.

How Ana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person as an individual. The counsellor aims to offer acceptance and understanding so clients can find their own solutions; this helps with depression, anxiety and life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional experience and relationship patterns. It helps people notice core feelings and reorganise how they respond to difficult moments, which can be useful for intimacy and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana collaborates with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, and she adapts techniques to what the person needs and prefers. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Ana is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on practical, meaningful progress.
