About Carmen

Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and grief. She also supports those struggling with low self-esteem, sleep problems and anger. Carmen speaks English and Spanish and works from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has six years of professional practice behind her.

Carmen believes people know their own stories and brings a warm, respectful stance to sessions. She offers a supportive space where clients can talk through what matters most to them. Her tone is practical and down to earth, and she encourages small steps that make a real difference day to day.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new, manageable habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Mindfulness-based exercises and a client-centred way of listening are used when they fit a client’s needs.

Carmen often focuses on relationship patterns such as attachment or codependency, and on issues that follow separation, infidelity or family conflict. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

Sessions are aimed at helping people regain coping skills, manage emotions, and make choices that match their values. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and works at a pace set by each individual. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns of thought that feed anxiety and then test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for worry, panic and low mood by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to focus on actions that match their values. It can help when avoidance or fear limits daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss these methods with each person and decide together what feels most useful. That collaborative choice shapes what happens in sessions and which exercises are tried between meetings.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make regular appointments easier to fit around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes while keeping focus on practical tools, values-led actions and building manageable coping skills.
