About Carmen
Carmen Castillo is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, addiction and anger. Carmen works with those facing relationship or intimacy issues, career strain and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Carmen uses straightforward, practical sessions to identify what keeps problems repeating. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move toward them. Attachment-based ideas help look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Sessions focus on short, useful steps people can try between meetings. Carmen helps clients notice bodily signals, track mood and test different ways of responding to triggers. She also offers breathing and simple mindfulness practices to reduce intensity and improve sleep.
She pays attention to cultural background and sexual orientation when relevant. Carmen aims to make sense of how issues like abandonment, codependency, or past abuse feed present anger and relationship strain. The work often links current problems to earlier attachment experiences.
Carmen describes her role as collaborative. New clients complete a short questionnaire to match with her and then schedule a first appointment. Fees vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Carmen’s approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often involves simple experiments and structured homework to reduce anger triggers and unhelpful responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings arise. It can help reduce struggling with anger by changing the relationship to thoughts and urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to use based on goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT skills for immediate pattern change, or attachment-based reflections to understand where patterns began. The plan is reviewed as work progresses so techniques match what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow working from different locations or using audio-only sessions when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work well in a virtual setting.
