Carmen Ramos Bolivar, BACP

Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems and grief. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep difficulties and major life changes. Carmen works in English and Spanish and brings six years of professional experience to her practice.

Her approach begins with listening. She believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, alongside calmer, clearer thinking in the room. Carmen aims to make the process straightforward and humane rather than overcomplicated.

She draws on a mix of methods to match what someone needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying values and taking small committed actions. Client-Centred techniques create a space for people to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and clarifies.

People bring many kinds of concerns, including trauma and abuse, family and parenting tensions, anger, and issues like abandonment or attachment difficulties. Carmen also works with challenges linked to chronic illness, codependency, infidelity and communication breakdowns. Her style is collaborative, patient and focused on practical coping rather than labels.

To begin, prospective clients follow a simple sign-up and matching process, then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical alternatives through small experiments. It often suits stress, depression and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to lean more on ACT, CBT or client-centred listening as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can still be very practical: short check-ins can fit into a lunch break, audio-only meetings use less bandwidth, and focused exercises can be set as simple at-home tasks. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without needing major rearrangement.
