About Ana
Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, grief and complex stress. She works in English and Spanish and offers sessions online and in person. Ana brings a calm, listening presence and focuses on helping people find steadiness in hard times.
She uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the heart of each session. Alongside this she draws on mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas to help people notice feelings and respond differently to difficult thoughts.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be conversational and grounded rather than technical. Ana has seven years' experience and holds the NCPS credential from the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Her background includes NHS Talking Therapy Services work, which complements her independent practice in Exeter and online sessions.
She describes listening without judgement as central to her work. People come to Ana for help with bereavement, trauma and depression, as well as life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those coping with caregiver stress, ageing and cancer-related worries among other life stresses.
Her focus is on helping individuals make sense of difficult moments and move forward at their own pace. Outside of work Ana practises meditation and yoga, and is training as a yoga teacher. She brings those personal practices into her therapeutic stance through calm presence and embodied awareness.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people tune into key emotions and improve how they relate to themselves and others. This can be useful for work on intimacy, relationship patterns and processing strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ana will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt sessions as needed. The process is collaborative so clients influence which methods are used and how sessions are structured.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or more frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
