About Carlos

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. He meets people where they are and concentrates on what matters now. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to suit bilingual needs.

Carlos has worked across independent practice, Employee Assistance Programmes, healthcare providers, charities and schools. He has a lengthy background helping people process different kinds of loss, from bereavement to the end of relationships and other life changes.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. His work often touches on feelings of isolation, communication problems, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose and identity. He also has experience addressing men’s issues and midlife concerns.

Carlos aims to create a calm space where people can talk through painful feelings at their own pace. Carlos draws on several therapeutic approaches, including client-centred, existential and psychodynamic ideas. His practice is integrative, which means he adapts the approach to fit the person in front of him rather than using a single method for everyone.

He brings a creative background in fine arts into sessions and sometimes invites imaginative ways of thinking about difficult feelings. Practical matters such as session format and pacing are worked out together so therapy fits around everyday life.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Existential therapy helps people consider meaning, values and life choices when things feel unclear or painful. It can support those facing grief, a midlife crisis, or questions about purpose by encouraging honest reflection on what matters most.

Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the centre of the session and focuses on listening, empathy and understanding. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem and feelings of isolation because it prioritises the client’s pace and perspective.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences shape present feelings. This can be useful for addressing recurring difficulties such as impulsivity, relationship struggles or persistent low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which ideas to use and adapts them to the individual’s goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods together as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows a fuller, face-to-face style conversation while phone work can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, reflective writing and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship with a registered or accredited professional.
