Carlos Calvet Ortin

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist practising in London. He brings eight years of experience and a background in fine arts to his work. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about difficult feelings.

He has often worked with loss in many forms, including bereavement, the end of relationships, job loss, and other life changes. He also sees people struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, panic attacks, and anger. Carlos pays attention to how identity, migration, and being far from family can affect emotional life.

His style is integrative with a person-centred core. That means he listens first and adapts his approach to each person rather than using one fixed method. He draws on client-centred, existential and psychodynamic ideas to suit what the client needs in the room.

Carlos is practical in session. He aims to help people name painful feelings, make sense of stuck patterns, and try simple ways to respond differently. His art background also means he sometimes uses creative ideas to reach things that are hard to say out loud.

He writes about supporting men who find it hard to ask for help because of stoic or shame-based messages. Carlos encourages people to explore those pressures gently and to choose steps that feel manageable.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. It focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers, which can suit emotional concerns like low self-esteem or grief. Existential Therapy helps people face big life questions about meaning, responsibility and change; it can be useful for people feeling stuck, facing midlife shifts or questioning life purpose. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and unconscious feelings, helping to notice repeated reactions such as anger or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Carlos will listen to your concerns, talk about what seems helpful, and adapt methods to your needs and preferences. He aims to agree a way of working together rather than imposing a single plan.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use different ways of communicating depending on energy, bandwidth, or comfort with being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to practical needs while keeping the focus on steady progress.
