Carmen Castillo

Carmen Castillo offers calm, practical support for people dealing with anger and related concerns. She greets each person with a gentle, non-judgemental approach and works alongside them to find clearer ways of coping. Carmen invites clients to use their own strengths while she guides conversations about what feels hard right now.

Carmen brings ten years of counselling experience to her sessions. She uses a blend of approaches so conversations match individual needs. That can mean noticing patterns of thinking, tracking how emotions show up in the body, or practising small, repeatable skills between sessions.

Her work often looks at how past relationships and early experiences affect current reactions. Carmen helps people recognise repeated patterns and try new responses that feel more manageable. She also addresses common practical problems such as sleep disruption, workplace stress and relationship strain.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts clients based in different countries. Carmen is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she lists as her professional credential.

When you start, Carmen will invite you to set goals and choose approaches together. She aims to build steady steps you can use day to day, such as simple mindfulness, values-based choices, and practical changes to routines. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

How Carmen’s approaches translate to online working

Carmen commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and live by their values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match what matters to you; it can help with anger, anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together choose or combine methods that suit the person. This collaborative planning means techniques are realistic and fit daily life rather than feeling like a one-size-fits-all programme.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or travel, or to choose a quieter space for a shorter check-in. It also allows practising mindfulness or ACT exercises in the settings where issues actually occur, so skills can transfer more readily into everyday routines.
