About Juan

Juan Aracena works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem and depression using a client-centred approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

He offers a way of working that focuses on the person's own perspective and choices. Sessions concentrate on listening, reflecting what is said and helping the client make sense of difficult feelings. The aim is to support clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses rather than to impose solutions.

Juan has worked with people who struggle with abandonment and attachment concerns, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation. He also supports those dealing with questions of life purpose, men's issues, midlife change, sexuality and mood difficulties.

He uses client-centred therapy to help people explore what matters to them and to build coping strategies that fit their everyday life. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the person. He pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current patterns of behaviour.

Juan is able to work in English and Spanish. He practises in the United Kingdom and has experience providing both in-person and online support, while international clients are not accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats available.

How client-centred approaches adapt to online sessions

Client-centred therapy emphasises the person's perspective, active listening and reflective responding. In an online setting this means the counsellor focuses on what the client notices and values, helping them make sense of feelings and choices through conversation. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.

The approach is collaborative: the counsellor and client explore which ways of working suit the client's needs and preferences. That may include pacing sessions differently, checking in about goals more often, or trying varied conversational techniques to see what helps most.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments around work or family commitments, and the option to have a shorter check-in when time is limited. The therapist's biography notes he has provided online and in-person support, but international clients are not accepted; confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients decide whether an online session style will suit their aims and daily routine.
