Miguel Echeverria, BACP

Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. Miguel Echeverria works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT matters. He practises in the United Kingdom and offers support in English and Spanish.

Miguel draws on psychodynamic and depth approaches to look at how early experiences and family of origin shape present difficulties. Sessions often include reflection on attachment patterns and the role of personal stories and myths. This can help surface difficult feelings such as shame, guilt, emptiness and loneliness, and address long-term patterns like avoidant behaviour or control issues.

He uses imagination, storytelling and creative techniques alongside more reflective talking work. That can make it easier to move beyond immediate symptoms and notice underlying themes such as abandonment, isolation, or life-purpose questions. Miguel also describes work that addresses intense issues like trauma, abuse, bipolar experiences and anger.

Miguel’s path into counselling included personal recovery from depression and addiction and study at Re-vision, where he completed a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling. He also carries out work for a UK mental health charity. His practice is informed by attachment-based ideas, Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives, and trauma-focused thinking.

People usually find the sessions to be conversational and reflective. Early meetings focus on identifying what matters most and deciding together how to proceed. He accepts clients who live outside the UK and offers work in Spanish when preferred.
