More about Carmen
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a UK-based Person-Centred Counsellor and Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with over five years of professional clinical experience supporting adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
I have experience working with clients experiencing anxiety disorders, including Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), social anxiety, health anxiety, and specific phobias, as well as depression, trauma-related difficulties, and body dysmorphic concerns. I also support individuals facing stress, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and difficulties related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each individual’s needs. My core training is in Person-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and I have also undertaken professional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic approaches. This allows us to explore both present-day difficulties and the underlying patterns that may influence how you think, feel, and relate to others, while also developing practical tools to support change.
I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can openly explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe that you are the expert in your own story and that you already hold strengths that can help you navigate challenges and move towards meaningful change. Together, we can work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, building greater understanding, resilience, and confidence.
Seeking therapy can feel like a significant step, particularly when you may already be feeling vulnerable or overwhelmed. It takes courage to reach out and consider doing things differently. I am here to support and empower you in working towards a more fulfilling, balanced, and authentic life.
I am committed to working ethically and professionally in line with UK standards and engage in ongoing professional development to ensure my practice remains evidence-based and responsive to clients’ needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Carmen is a wonderful empathetic therapist who listens and helps in a way that is person centred and professional
Carmen is great!
She is an exceptional listener—always attentive and genuinely engaged in every session. She offers thoughtful, constructive feedback that never feels judgmental and consistently provides insightful perspectives that have helped me gain clarity on my concerns. Her empathetic approach and warm demeanor make me feel comfortable and supported. I highly recommend Carmen to anyone seeking a supportive and skilled therapist.
Carmen is truly helping me navigate a path through a very challenging time
Carmen is professional, courteous and polite and provides an appropriate level of support. She challenges my beliefs/thoughts in an effective way that has been valuable to navigate my current challenges. I feel much better for Carmens help!
Really great therapist. Very caring and supportive. Has really helped me through a difficult time. I really recommend Carmen, lovely nature I really wouldn’t have got through this time without her support. Thank you
Carmen is really friendly, kind and reassuring. I feel I am finally getting the support I’ve needed for a while. I would definitely recommend her.
listens very carefully and always understands my point. give me advice and encourages.
Carmen is a great therapist, our sessions bring up many of my insecurities and challenges and she finds a way to connect the dots and show how I can work on them. She is a great listener and provides insightful views that help me understand myself better
Carmen is beyond amazing! Always listening to my emotions and giving me tools to improve and better handle situations. She makes me feel comfortable and hopeful
Carmen is a great therapist. Extremely professional and knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Very thankful to her for her support
From the first session I felt understood, validated and safe with her. She matches my energy and communication style perfectly. I would highly recommend her.
Carmen is kind and open minded, she gives me space to tell my story without any judgement, conversations flow easily with her and the sessions go by very quickly, I recommend her without hesitation
Carmen helped me a lot. I had only 2 session with her but I’m thinking a lot clearer and my mind set is very different. It’s crazy that 2 session talking to a stranger that listen can really help. She was very accommodating with the time difference as I live in Australia and she lives in UK. Would recommend better help to anyone. It’s worth the money.
Thoughtful, really listens, and gives great advice. Finally feel there’s light at the end of the tunnel
Carmen has been brilliant. We’ve had so far only two sessions however I feel lucky she just gets me and reflects back to me what I need to see in myself so it helps me to process my feelings in a healthier more aware manner which makes me feel seen, valued and accepted as a human being and heard. I would definitely recommend her.
It’s still early so I haven’t gotten much of an opinion yet but so far it’s been very helpful and I’m looking forward to the next session.
