Miguel Echeverria, BACP

Miguel Echeverria is a BACP registered British-Spanish psychotherapeutic counsellor whose life and training bridge cultures and therapeutic traditions.

Born in the Basque Country, Miguel's family moved frequently during his childhood, including a period living in the United States, and he relocated to the United Kingdom in 2001. For the past year he has been living between Spain and the UK. Those migration experiences have given him a keen understanding of what it means to belong - to a place, a family or a community.

During his twenties and thirties Miguel faced periods of depression and addiction, and he pursued many paths toward healing, including meditation retreats, plant medicine, vision quests and other spiritual practices. It was his own experience of therapy that provided a turning point and inspired him to train to support others on their healing journeys. He completed a three-year training at the Re-vision training centre, earning a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling, and he now combines private practice with work for the mental health charity MIND in the UK.

Miguel offers an integrative approach informed by depth and archetypal psychology and grounded in psychodynamic principles. He explores how early experiences and family dynamics shape present patterns while also attending to what can grow from these challenges. He often uses imagination, myth and storytelling to move beyond the rational mind and into deeper meaning, while offering an attuned, empathic presence that listens both to what is said and what remains unspoken. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and works with professional supervision and insurance.

Depth-oriented approaches for online therapy

Miguel draws on psychodynamic and Jungian approaches to guide online work in ways that explore underlying patterns and deeper meaning. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early experiences, family relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviour, helping with issues such as depression, relationship difficulties and long-standing emotional patterns. Jungian therapy uses symbols, myths and imagination to access deeper layers of the psyche and can be useful for clients seeking greater self-understanding, life purpose and integration of inner conflicts. Trauma-focused work is also part of his practice when needed - it concentrates on processing painful events and reducing their ongoing impact, and it can be helpful for trauma, abuse and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Miguel collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time and works together with clients to shape the direction of therapy.

Online therapy with Miguel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals across locations and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
