Carlos Calvet Ortin, BACP

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people dealing with grief, anxiety, depression and related stresses. Carlos offers sessions in English and Spanish and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult feelings.

Before his counselling work he studied Fine Arts, and he brings a creative sensibility into therapy. That background can help people access thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words. Carlos often uses imagery and reflective exercises alongside talking work.

His core approach centres on person-centred practice, meaning he works around each person's needs rather than using a single method. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, and existential ideas to help with questions about meaning and life direction. Sessions are adapted to what a person finds useful.

Carlos has worked in private practice, with Employee Assistance Programmes, healthcare providers, charities and schools. He has experience supporting people who have moved to the UK and who feel isolated or cut off from family networks. He also describes specific experience helping men who find it difficult to ask for help.

People come to him for issues such as panic attacks, low self-esteem, trouble with communication, feelings of being stuck, and midlife concerns. He encourages exploration at a comfortable pace and looks for ways to help someone feel less overwhelmed and more able to make choices.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Carlos works from a person-centred base and also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas. Person-centred practice focuses on listening and following what matters to the individual, helping with emotional distress, low self-esteem and uncertainty about life choices.

Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and the impact of past relationships on present feelings, which can help with grief, anxiety and difficulties in relationships. Existential approaches help people talk about meaning, purpose and major life transitions, including midlife reflection and questions about direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carlos will discuss which elements feel most useful and adapt the sessions in collaboration with the client. Together they agree goals and try ways of working that fit the person’s needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also offers options for those who prefer to speak in English or Spanish from different locations within the United Kingdom.
