Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez
Gentle person-centred counselling and trauma support
About Ana
Ana (Anabel) Olmedo Gonzalez offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and life changes. She is a counsellor who listens without judgement and helps people find clearer ways to cope. Ana works in English and Spanish from the United Kingdom and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.
Ana uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her practice. That means she follows the client’s pace and focuses on what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She also draws on mindfulness and elements of existential therapy to help people connect with meaning and everyday coping skills. Her background includes work within NHS talking therapy services alongside independent practice and online sessions. Ana holds NCPS accreditation, which is recorded as NCPS in her credentials.
She has particular experience supporting people with depression, bereavement including loss to suicide, and complex trauma. Sessions are conversational and practical. Ana listens, reflects, and helps people try small changes that can relieve intense feelings.
She also offers space to talk through relationship worries, family-of-origin themes, intimacy concerns, career stresses and issues around caregiving or ageing. Outside work she values nature, meditation and yoga, and these interests inform a gentle, grounded style in sessions. People who prefer a calm, empathetic counsellor who speaks English or Spanish may find her approach helpful.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Ana blends person-centred work with emotionally focused and mindfulness-informed ways of working to support people online. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace to build trust and clarity; it is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and process core emotions and improve how they respond to strong feelings, which can be helpful for grief and trauma. Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease stress.Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Ana will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try approaches and adjust them based on what helps in everyday life rather than sticking to a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face work and allow visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or mobility needs.
