About Carlos
Counsellor Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He sees people for issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and has worked in private practice, charities, schools and employee assistance programmes.
Carlos often works with loss in its many forms - bereavement, relationship endings, job loss or the sense of something irreplaceable gone. He also helps people who feel stuck, isolated or overwhelmed by panic, obsessive thoughts or social anxiety. He writes that he understands the strain of moving to the UK and the sense of alienation that can bring.
His practice draws on an integrative model with person-centred therapy at its core. That means conversations are shaped around the person in front of him rather than a fixed method. He also uses existential and psychodynamic ideas when these fit the issue being explored.
Carlos has a background in fine arts and sometimes brings creative ways to sessions to help access feelings and memories that are hard to put into words. He says creativity can help uncover unconscious material and open up new perspectives.
He notes particular experience talking with men who may find it hard to ask for help, and he aims to address shame and pressures around masculine expectations. To begin working with him, people are asked to use the site matching process to book a first appointment and outline their needs.
How his approaches shape online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them speak about what matters most. This approach is useful for worries about mood, self-worth and relationship concerns.Existential therapy looks at meaning, purpose and the choices people make. It helps when life feels empty, stuck or when major change brings anxiety. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to feelings that come from early relationships and unconscious patterns that repeat in adult life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Carlos says he will discuss different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which session types are offered before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need quieter surroundings without lengthy journeys.
