About Juan
BACP. 4 years of professional experience. Juan Aracena works in the United Kingdom offering counselling in English and Spanish. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self esteem and depression using a client-centred approach.
Juan describes his work as person-centred counselling. He focuses on listening and helping people put words to what they are feeling. Sessions aim to explore attachment, abandonment and control issues, as well as feelings of guilt and shame. He also addresses impulsivity, isolation and struggles with life purpose.
In practice Juan helps people who are facing mood difficulties and social anxiety. He supports conversations about sexuality and men’s issues, and he works with those in midlife questioning their direction. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational rather than highly technical.
He uses the principles of client-centred therapy to encourage self-reflection and personal choice. That means the counsellor follows what the client brings and helps them make sense of it. The focus is on understanding feelings and patterns that affect daily life.
Juan has experience working with both anxiety and depression alongside relationship concerns. He offers counselling aimed at reducing isolation and improving self esteem. For people unsure how to begin, he asks practical questions and helps plan the first steps.
He does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How client-centred counselling works online
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports the person to make their own decisions. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and questions about identity or life direction.A simple person-focused method like client-centred work can help people untangle feelings of shame, guilt or isolation. It aims to increase self-understanding and confidence rather than teach specific techniques. For matters such as attachment or abandonment worries, the emphasis is on exploring how past and present relationships shape current feelings.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt the way sessions proceed. They work with the client to decide what feels most useful and change direction if something is not helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling useful for fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel and keeping regular contact during busy weeks. Remote work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to arrange appointments that fit everyday schedules.
