About Carmen

Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She works with concerns like grief and loss, low self-esteem, parenting strain and trouble sleeping. Carmen speaks English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people make small, steady changes. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on simple steps they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Carmen believes clients bring strengths and knowledge about their lives, and she supports them to build on those resources. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred ways of working. That means clients will notice attention to thoughts and behaviours, alongside acceptance skills and listening that centres their experience.

Mindfulness tools are offered where they fit the person’s needs. With six years of experience and BACP registration, Carmen draws on a range of methods rather than a single technique. She aims for practical, doable strategies for day-to-day problems such as overwhelm, anger or sleep disruption.

She also addresses longer standing patterns like attachment, codependency or family of origin issues. Therapy typically begins by clarifying what the client wants to change and setting straightforward goals. Sessions can include problem-solving, thought work, values-based actions and short mindfulness exercises.

Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted to suit the person’s pace and priorities.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for depression, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and teaches skills to change them; it often helps with low mood, sleep problems and stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive way of being heard so a person can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will try methods and adapt the plan so it fits the person’s life and pace rather than imposing a single technique.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, reflections, or ongoing support between sessions without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
