About Carmen
Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, trauma and anger. Carmen writes plainly and offers steady support for people who want practical change.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small steps that build confidence.
Background and approach
Carmen encourages clear, honest conversation and practical strategies that can be used between appointments. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify values and workable actions. Mindfulness practices are used to calm the nervous system and increase present-moment awareness.
Client-Centred Therapy guides the way she listens and responds to each person. Carmen has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and can explain options for working together in whichever language feels easier.
Work usually begins by agreeing practical goals and a simple plan. People leave sessions with clear next steps they can try at home. Carmen emphasises collaboration, steady progress and realistic coping skills.

Practical therapy approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with major life changes by focusing on action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches specific skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and low mood and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Carmen will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques and adjust the plan when needed. This keeps therapy flexible and focused on what actually helps the client in their life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
