About Carmen
Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression and relationship problems. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties and major life changes. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and works from the United Kingdom.
Carmen believes people know their own story and brings a respectful, listening approach to each session. She aims to help clients notice strengths and build practical ways to cope with difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative rather than directive. In conversation she uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to spot thoughts and patterns that get in the way. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness ideas to help people accept hard experiences and focus on meaningful action.
Sessions often include simple exercises to practise between meetings. Her background includes six years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Carmen uses clear language and short-term goals when that suits a person, and will also offer longer-term support when needed.
People who choose Carmen can expect a calm space to talk, practical suggestions to try, and help making small, manageable steps forward. She encourages open conversation about what is and is not working so the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

How Carmen's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and testing new, healthier ways of coping. Both approaches include practical skills and short exercises that are easy to try between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic journey. Carmen works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. The early sessions are often used to assess needs, try a few techniques and agree a direction that feels right.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or no camera use is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility while still letting therapists work on practical skills and goals with clients.
