About Carmen
Counsellor Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a BACP member with six years of experience. She works with relationship problems, grief, self-esteem and mood concerns including depression and anxiety.
Carmen helps people who are struggling with stress, sleep problems and parenting strains. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, and major life changes. Her practice includes issues linked to attachment, abandonment and communication problems.
Her style centres on listening and on helping people notice what matters to them. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. Mindfulness and a client-centred way of meeting the person are part of the work she offers.
Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. Carmen works with thoughts, feelings and behaviours together, and she helps people practise small changes that build over time. She talks through strategies for coping with grief, handling conflict, and managing low mood or anxiety.
Carmen offers therapy in English and Spanish. She is based in the United Kingdom and brings six years of direct practice to her counselling. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment through the platform.
Approach to online counselling and methods
For clients working remotely Carmen often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. CBT focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioural experiments to ease mood and anxiety. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that reflect what matters to you.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision shapes the sessions rather than being fixed from the start.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not to use a camera, others like video for face-to-face contact; Carmen will discuss practical arrangements when you arrange the first session.
