About Carmen
Carmen Castillo is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleep problems and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Carmen uses a conversational, person-centred way of working. She invites people to notice how past relationships and early experiences connect with current difficulties. That often means talking through emotional patterns and long-standing ways of coping that are no longer helpful.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when practising present-moment awareness and accepting difficult thoughts so they have less control over choices.
In practice Carmen focuses on building a steady working relationship. Sessions look at practical steps such as behavioural experiments, self-care routines and ways to repair disrupted relationships. She pays attention to cultural background and sexual orientation when those factors affect the issue being worked on.
Her additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and pain, codependency, addiction related to drugs and alcohol, immigration and HIV/AIDS related matters. People often come to address intense shame, guilt, isolation or the fallout from separation and infidelity.
To begin, Carmen asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It supports work on valued goals and coping with painful experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when trust, closeness or fear of abandonment affect relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so people can explore what matters to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss goals, preferences and which methods feel useful. She will adapt the plan in collaboration with the person receiving support rather than using a single fixed method.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. If language matters, sessions are available in English and Spanish and international appointments are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the practical arrangements to the client's routine and needs.
