About Juan
Juan Aracena is a BACP counsellor with four years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem and depression, and supports people in English and Spanish.
He uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's perspective first. Sessions are practical and conversational. Juan listens for what matters to the person and helps them name patterns that make life harder.
Juan often works with feelings linked to abandonment, attachment and control. He also addresses guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation. These themes commonly show up alongside mood difficulties and issues around sexuality and social anxiety.
In sessions he helps people understand how old responses can keep repeating. He offers steady, direct feedback and helps set small, doable steps to test new ways of reacting. That might include practising how to notice early signs of anger or trying short experiments to reduce overwhelm.
People who come to him usually want straightforward help managing strong emotions, repairing strained relationships, or finding clearer direction in midlife. He explains options and works alongside each person to pick the next practical step.
Juan asks people to consider scheduling by completing the site questionnaire and then booking their first session. The cost varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
Client-centred approaches for online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening to the person's own experience and reflecting it back. The counsellor gives space for someone to describe thoughts and feelings, and together they clarify what matters most. This approach helps when anger or frustration feels confusing, and when people want to make different choices in their relationships or at work.In practice Juan uses straightforward conversation and practical steps. He helps people spot triggers, name patterns and try small experiments to see what changes. Deciding which way to work is a collaborative process - he will talk through options and adapt to the person's aims and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Check the session options before booking to confirm how Juan runs remote sessions. The practical benefits of online work include fitting a meeting into a busy day, reducing travel time and making it easier to maintain continuity between appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick recalibration during a stressful week is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can help choose the best format during the first session.
