About Juan
Juan Aracena is a counsellor with four years of experience who offers a calm, person-centred approach. He speaks English and Spanish and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. He practices online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
Juan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Juan focuses on listening first and noticing what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to the client, allowing space to talk about feelings like anger, shame or loneliness. He helps people name patterns that get in the way and to find small, manageable steps forward. Many people bring concerns about self-esteem, control issues, attachment or feelings of isolation.
Juan also supports work around midlife questions, life purpose and men’s issues. He uses a person-centred style to create an accepting space where those topics can be explored without pressure. In practice he keeps sessions simple and practical.
Conversations often include reflections, gentle questioning and checking what feels useful next. For some clients this means focusing on mood and coping skills; for others it means looking at relationship patterns or longstanding feelings of guilt. Juan’s online work is designed to fit modern life.
He aims to help clients build confidence managing emotions and making changes that matter day to day. The first meetings focus on what someone hopes to get from therapy and how to shape sessions to meet those goals.

Approaches Juan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Sessions proceed at the client’s pace with reflections and open questions that help people make sense of their feelings. This method suits people wanting a collaborative, empathetic space to talk through relationship patterns, attachment concerns or struggles with self-esteem and life purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juan will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt his style to what the client needs. He sees therapy as a joint process and checks in regularly to make sure sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls let participants use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can be a lower-pressure way to keep momentum between sessions or to check in when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
