About Carmen
Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief. She also supports those dealing with stress, sleep problems, parenting challenges and the emotional impact of trauma and abuse. Carmen writes in both English and Spanish and draws on six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She approaches each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversations rather than labels. Carmen aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can try new ways of coping and responding to difficult feelings.
Her work blends approaches that encourage acceptance, practical thinking and mindful awareness. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful patterns, try alternative behaviours and commit to values that matter to them. This can be useful for struggles such as codependency, attachment concerns, guilt and shame.
Carmen draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred listening to tailor sessions to each person. She commonly uses short exercises, reflective questions and real-life practice between meetings to support change.
People who choose Carmen often want grounded, straightforward help with everyday problems. She supports work on family of origin issues, communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and coping with chronic illness. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site process to match and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Carmen’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them determine every choice. It supports commitment to personal values and small behavioural steps that match those values, which can help with relationship patterns and codependency. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short exercises to try alternative responses to stress or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on listening, empathy and following the person’s pace to build trust and clarity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carmen will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. From there she will suggest ways of working and adapt methods as needed so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include greater flexibility to fit meetings around work or family commitments and reduced travel time. It can make it easier to continue regular check-ins and apply new skills between sessions. The site process asks you to confirm session options before booking, so it is best to check which formats Carmen currently offers when you arrange the first meeting.
