About Juan

Juan Aracena is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He has four years of experience and offers therapy in English and Spanish. Juan focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and he also supports people dealing with anger and relationship difficulties.

Juan uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions are built around listening, respect and helping people make sense of their feelings.

02

How Juan works

He aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and begin to find clearer ways forward. His background includes working with mood issues and concerns such as abandonment, attachment and control problems. He also helps people facing guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, questions about sexuality, and midlife or purpose-related worries.

This range means he is used to gentle, steady work with complex emotional themes. In sessions Juan keeps things practical. He listens, reflects what he hears, and helps people notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour.

Conversations often lead to small, manageable steps that people can try between sessions to see what helps. Juan offers online options as well as other formats so people can choose what fits their life. He uses a straightforward, respectful style and works alongside the person to set goals and check progress over time.

Online support options

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person explore feelings at their own pace. This approach suits people who need acceptance, clarity and a non-judgemental space to talk about stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juan will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He discusses options openly and adjusts the way he works as therapy progresses so it feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress and clear goals.
