About Carmen

Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, parenting pressure, sleep problems and anger. Carmen centres conversations on what matters to each person and helps them take practical steps forward.

Her style is grounded and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred approaches to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Carmen often helps people who are managing difficult life changes, complicated family histories, or issues such as codependency, impulsivity and jealousy. She also supports people facing chronic illness or ongoing health-related stress and related co-morbid challenges. Work may include looking at communication, boundaries and problem-solving.

The approach mixes talking with practical exercises. Mindfulness-based practices are used to build awareness of thoughts and physical reactions. Homework is offered to practise skills like noticing triggers, testing assumptions, and choosing actions aligned with values.

She offers sessions in English and Spanish. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs and learn different ways to respond to anger, stress or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and sensations without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values to move forward.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Carmen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions involve reviewing what helped or didn’t, and adjusting tools or exercises to fit daily life.

The practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions around work or family routines and using shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals like Carmen can help arrange a pattern of work that fits someone’s schedule and commitments.
