Carlos Calvet Ortin, BACP

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist practicing in London with eight years of clinical experience. He specialises in work around loss in its many forms - from bereavement after the death of a loved one to the ending of relationships, jobs, or other deeply meaningful changes that leave a sense of irreplaceable absence. He offers a space to explore how loss shapes daily life, identity, and relationships.

Alongside grief work, his practice addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, death anxiety, feeling stuck, communication difficulties, identity questions, obsessive thoughts, and miscarriage. He also supports issues such as panic attacks, impulsivity, social anxiety, midlife transitions, and challenges commonly experienced by men who find it difficult to ask for help. His approach recognises the emotional strain of relocation and the particular challenges faced by people moving to the United Kingdom for the first time.

Carlos works from an integrative perspective with a person-centred model at the heart of his work. This means he adapts therapeutic approaches to fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, using creativity and imagination alongside clinical techniques to help access parts of experience that can be hard to reach through words alone. He is bilingual and offers sessions in English and Spanish.

His background includes work across private practice, Employee Assistance Programmes, healthcare settings, charities, and schools, 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 aims to provide a non-judgemental, respectful environment where people can explore concerns at their own pace and find ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Carlos draws on approaches such as client-centred therapy and psychodynamic therapy to guide his online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive relationship where the person’s own experiences and goals lead the work - this approach can help with self-esteem, loneliness, and feeling stuck. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from the past and the unconscious influences on present behaviour and relationships - it can be useful for long-standing patterns, identity questions, and recurring emotional difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Carlos works collaboratively to identify what fits each person. He adapts methods to suit individual needs, goals, and preferences, discussing options together and adjusting the focus as therapy unfolds to ensure the work feels relevant and helpful.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, attend sessions from different locations within the United Kingdom, and choose the format that best matches communication style and practical circumstances. Registered professionals and therapists can offer meaningful, effective work through these remote formats while tailoring the experience to each client's needs.
