About Carlos
BACP. 8 years' experience. Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom. He speaks English and Spanish and has practised in private clinics, employee assistance programmes, healthcare providers, charities and schools.
Carlos specialises in loss and grief, including bereavement and the end of relationships, and he also works with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and loneliness. He has experience with panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive thoughts and miscarriage-related grief. He notes particular experience supporting men who find it hard to seek help because of stoicism or shame.
His practice centres on a person-centred approach within an integrative framework. That means he draws on different ideas to suit each person, but keeps the relationship and the client's own priorities at the core. Sessions aim to look at what is happening now and how past experiences might be affecting current feelings and choices.
Carlos brings a creative background in fine arts into his work and sometimes uses imagination and expressive ideas to help clients find new ways of understanding themselves. He says creativity can help access parts of experience that are hard to reach with words alone.
He has undertaken a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a Level 4 Advanced CBT Diploma course, a Certification Program in Advanced Trauma, PTSD and Dissociation, and a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Supervision. To start, readers are asked to use the See online counselling options button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How his approaches shape online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, which can help when dealing with grief, low self-esteem or anxiety. Existential Therapy looks at life questions such as meaning, choice and responsibility and can be useful for people facing life purpose concerns or midlife questions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carlos will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow conversations to continue when someone has recently moved or is balancing work and caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer ways to make sessions practical for daily life, and Carlos will discuss what will work best during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
