Carlos Calvet Ortin , BACP

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist working from London in the United Kingdom. BACP accreditation indicates recognition by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and his training includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a Level 4 Advanced CBT Diploma course, a Certification Program in Advanced Trauma, PTSD and Dissociation, and a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Supervision. He also holds a degree in Fine Arts, and that creative background frequently informs his therapeutic work.

Carlos has spent his career supporting people through different kinds of loss - from bereavement and the ending of relationships to job loss and other deeply felt changes. He has experience working with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, death anxiety, communication difficulties, identity concerns, obsessive thoughts, miscarriage, and feelings of being stuck. He has provided therapy in a range of settings including private practice, employee assistance programmes, healthcare providers, charities, and schools.

Many clients who move to the UK experience alienation and grief from leaving family and community behind, and Carlos is familiar with these emotional challenges. He practices from an integrative perspective with a person-centred model at the heart of his work - drawing on different therapeutic methods to suit the individual rather than applying a single fixed model. Creativity and imagination are welcomed as ways to access unconscious material and to help people reconnect with parts of themselves that feel lost or hidden.

He works bilingually in English and Spanish and tailors sessions to each person’s needs, pace, and goals, offering a non-judgmental space to explore concerns and find ways to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy with Carlos

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore feelings, values, and choices at their own pace; it is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and situations where someone feels stuck. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, responsibility, and the questions that arise in life transitions - it supports people grappling with loss, identity, purpose, and midlife concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy attends to patterns that come from past experiences and the unconscious, helping to uncover recurring emotional themes and interpersonal difficulties over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Carlos works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws on different approaches as appropriate and reviews progress together so the therapy can adapt as understanding deepens.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life, maintain continuity of care, and access support from a licensed professional without the need to attend in person.
