About Carlos
Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He began his work focused on loss in many forms - bereavement, relationship endings, job loss, and other deep life changes. He offers therapy in English and Spanish and has worked across private practice, EAPs, healthcare providers, charities, and schools.
Carlos uses an integrative approach with a person-centred model at its core. That means he adapts methods to the person in front of him rather than using one fixed method. Sessions aim to help people talk through grief, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and anger, and to address communication problems, impulsivity and feelings of isolation.
He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at unconscious patterns and on existential thinking to discuss meaning, purpose and identity. His background in Fine Arts informs a creative element to his work, offering ways to access feelings that can be hard to name.
Carlos notes particular experience supporting men who struggle with shame, stoicism or difficulty asking for help. He also works with people who have moved to the UK and feel alienated or far from family networks.
Sessions follow the person-centred ethos of listening first, then shaping the work together. He uses the training he has completed to inform conversations about grief, panic, self-love and social anxiety.

How sessions work
How his approach translates to online counselling
Carlos works from a person-centred base and integrates psychodynamic and existential ideas. Person-centred work puts listening and the client's priorities first, helping with immediate problems like anger or low mood. Psychodynamic approaches look at patterns that may be driving repeated reactions, which can help when anger feels automatic. Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choices and identity, useful for life-stage questions and feeling stuck.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He treats that as a collaborative process - clients and therapist try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan together. This keeps sessions practical and tied to the client's goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals who offer remote work often find that video or phone sessions help people continue therapy around work, travel and family commitments without changing the therapeutic aims.
