About Carmen

Carmen Ramos Bolivar works on relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress using a person-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of experience in the field.

She helps people talk through problems with relationships and family, including separation, communication problems and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. She also supports people coping with loss, guilt, shame and bereavement. Practical steps and straightforward discussion feature in her sessions to address sleep problems, anger and sudden life changes.

Carmen uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and client-centred counselling. Sessions often combine reflective listening with exercises that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. She explains methods in simple terms so people can try them between sessions.

Her work also covers longer-standing or complex concerns such as chronic pain, co-morbidity and past abuse. She addresses specific relationship harms such as infidelity, jealousy and domestic violence while keeping the focus on the person in front of her. Practical coping skills and communication strategies are commonly included.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are arranged from the United Kingdom. Carmen aims to collaborate with each person to set clear goals and to review progress over time.

How Carmen uses approaches in remote counselling

Carmen works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. ACT encourages people to notice thoughts and values and to take small committed actions that fit their goals; it can help when someone feels stuck by worry or avoidance. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions and make sense of their experience. CBT offers practical techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what to try first, based on the person’s goals and preferences. The choice of method can be reviewed as work progresses so sessions remain useful and relevant.

The biography does not specify which remote session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit more easily around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when days are busy. Registered or accredited professionals use a range of approaches online that can deliver similar practical exercises and conversations to face-to-face counselling.
