About Carmen
Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and sleep problems. She also supports those facing grief, low self-esteem, anger and major life changes. Carmen speaks English and Spanish and works from the United Kingdom.
Carmen believes people carry useful strengths from their own lives. She asks questions and listens so clients can find clearer ways forward. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, aiming to build practical steps rather than layered theory.
She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and to build values-led action. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with worry and rest, and a client-centred stance guides how sessions are paced and focused.
With six years of professional experience, Carmen has worked with a range of concerns including trauma, family issues and chronic illness alongside the core areas of mood and relationships. She uses that background to tailor sessions to each person's situation.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability. Carmen’s practice uses a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist allocation.
How Carmen’s approaches translate to online counselling
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and change patterns of thinking that maintain worry, low mood or sleep disruption. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural experiments to alter habits that get in the way of rest and daily functioning.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on what matters to a person and on taking actions that match those values, even when difficult feelings are present. This can be useful for coping with chronic pain, grief or persistent sleep problems by shifting the focus toward meaningful activity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carmen will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change over time to suit how someone responds.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into a busy week and helpful for keeping continuity when life is hectic. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins, the use of mindfulness exercises between meetings, and practical work on sleep routines without needing travel.
