About Juan

Juan Aracena is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, self-esteem and depression. He works in English and Spanish and helps people with a range of related concerns including attachment, abandonment, guilt, shame and midlife questions.

He uses a client-centred approach that foregrounds the person's own perspective. Sessions aim to let people speak about what matters to them, and the counsellor follows their priorities rather than imposing a set agenda. That way clients guide which topics get more attention over time.

In practice he supports people who feel isolated, stuck in patterns of impulsivity or control, or weighed down by low mood. He also works with those dealing with sexuality questions, social anxiety and the effects of shame or guilt. Conversations are grounded in everyday concerns and problems rather than clinical language.

Juan describes his role as listening closely and reflecting back what he hears, while helping people notice patterns and make small changes. He pays attention to relationship themes such as attachment and abandonment that often appear beneath surface problems. Work can involve exploring life purpose or managing transitions at midlife.

Sessions may be arranged in person or online; the site’s booking flow confirms the current session formats. Prospective clients can expect a straightforward, conversational style and practical attention to immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

How his client-centred approach works in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens and reflects, helping the person clarify their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship issues and questions around identity or life purpose.

Sessions aim to follow the client’s priorities rather than impose a fixed plan. Juan will work collaboratively to identify which ways of working suit a person best, and will review the approach as goals and needs evolve. Finding the right fit is treated as part of the process rather than a one-off decision.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to keep a regular rhythm of short check-ins or longer weekly sessions, depending on what the client needs. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
