Carlos Calvet Ortin, BACP

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. He draws on eight years of experience to help people facing loss, low mood, anxiety and stress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

He began his work focusing on loss in its many forms - bereavement, relationship endings, job loss, or the sense that something meaningful is missing. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk about that pain and how it affects daily life.

Alongside grief, Carlos supports people coping with depression, panic attacks, social anxiety, low self-esteem and feelings of isolation. He also addresses communication problems, impulsivity and questions about life purpose or identity.

Carlos uses a person-centred stance at the core of his practice and combines ideas from other therapeutic traditions to suit each person. That means he shapes sessions around who you are and what you need rather than forcing a single method.

His background in fine arts influences how he works, bringing creativity into conversations when that feels helpful. He has provided therapy in private practice, employee assistance programmes, healthcare settings, charities and schools, and understands the challenges faced by people moving to the UK for the first time.

People who value a thoughtful, steady approach often find his style a good fit. Carlos offers a non-judgemental space to talk things through at your own pace and to explore ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions

Carlos works from a person-centred foundation that values the person's own perspective and pace. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what matters to you and focusing on what you want to change. This approach is helpful for people struggling with low self-esteem, uncertainty or feelings of being stuck.

Existential therapy is another strand he draws on. It looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when people are wrestling with life purpose, identity or midlife concerns. Psychodynamic ideas are also used to look at patterns that repeat over time and to understand feelings that might be hidden beneath day-to-day worries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will work collaboratively with you to decide which ideas and methods feel most useful for your goals and preferences. That exploration is ongoing and can change as you make progress.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow more visual connection, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats increase flexibility and help people access consistent support without long travel times.
