About Juan

Juan Aracena is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has four years of professional experience and offers sessions in both English and Spanish.

Juan aims to create an approachable space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strains in ways that make sense to them. He keeps things simple in sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of him, not on labels. Juan listens closely, reflects back what he hears, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. He encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to test new ways of coping.

Juan often works with issues around self-esteem, anger, and feelings of isolation or shame. He also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, fears of abandonment, impulsivity and questions about sexuality and life purpose. His approach suits people looking for a respectful, non-judgemental space to think things through.

Sessions are offered online and by phone, which Juan uses to fit therapy into busy lives. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets the pace and priorities. Over time he helps people build clearer choices and steadier emotional routines.

Juan keeps his practice grounded in everyday language. He explains ideas plainly and focuses on small, achievable changes. That practical emphasis helps people move from feeling stuck to noticing real shifts in day-to-day life.

Ways of working Juan names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-centred care and online access

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects the person's experience and follows their pace. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, shame or difficult relationship patterns because it creates space to understand what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juan will collaborate with the person to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting sessions based on needs, goals and how someone prefers to communicate. That shared decision-making helps match practical strategies to everyday life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations where visual cues help, while phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick reflections between sessions or when someone prefers writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and support continuity when in-person meetings are not possible.
