Four sessions in and it's clear Carlos is an attentive listener. Having never done this before It's kind of daunting, but that's kind of the point. I'm confident I can talk to Carlos about life in a non judgemental manor. And I'm confident he can flip the script on my sometimes negative self evaluation, which for some reason can be a blind spot in my thought process.

I find Carlos’s approach very reassuring. Carlos gives me time to talk and get my feelings out and lets me appreciate that these feelings are also normal and to have compassion for myself. Carlos validates my apprehension through talking therapy that doesn’t negate my feelings.
More about Carlos
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist based in London.
Since I started my training I have worked closely with issues around loss—whether that be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a job, or something else deeply meaningful and irreplaceable. Loss can take many forms, and I aim to offer a safe space to explore its impact.
In addition to loss, I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including:
-Depression
-Anxiety
-Low self-esteem
-Loneliness
-Death anxiety
-Feeling stuck
-Communication issues
-Identity
-Obsessive thoughts
-Miscarriage
Over the years, I’ve provided therapy in a variety of settings—private practice, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), healthcare providers, charities, and schools. I also understand the emotional challenges faced by people moving to the UK for the first time, including feelings of alienation and the grief of being far from family and community.
My Approach
I work from an integrative perspective, with a person-centred model at the heart of my practice.
In simple terms, integrative therapy means I draw from different approaches depending on what suits the individual in front of me. I don’t believe there’s a one-size-fits-all method. Each person’s experience is unique, and therapy should reflect that.
Rather than trying to fit clients into a particular model, I aim to shape my approach around who you are, what you need, and where you are in your process. I believe human experience can be explored in many ways—and no single theory holds all the answers.
I am bilingual and can offer sessions in English and Spanish.
Creativity and the Unconscious
In addition to my counselling training, I hold a degree in Fine Arts, and this background deeply informs my work. I believe that creativity and imagination can be powerful tools in therapy—offering ways to connect with unconscious parts of ourselves and bring them into awareness.
I believe that creativity and the use of the imagination are ideal channels for reconnecting with our unconscious side and that this can help us to bring more parts of ourselves to our awareness. Sometimes, rediscovering forgotten or hidden parts of ourselves is the first step toward meaningful change.
Whatever your concerns are, I will offer you a safe and non- judgemental space so that we explore them at length, at your pace, and find ways to move forward.
Working with men
Many men don’t like to seek help due to dominant masculine values of stoicism, independence and self-control. It also can be related to feelings of shame about the concerns that are bothering them or being seeing as 'weak'.
If you are a man and this resonates with you, I am glad that you have reached out to talk to someone and open up about whatever is troubling you. 'To get somewhere new, you must first decide that you are tired of being where you are'.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very professional. I think I have never been with such a good therapist.
Friendly an professional therapist. Listened to my concerns about something specific and helped me address that concern in the first session rather than dragging it out which I really appreciated. Knows his stuff.
Great listener who provides space to be open, honest and vulnerable. He promotes you into exploring solutions whilst being kind to your current state of mind. Very good experience.
