About Carmen

Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor who helps people manage anger alongside related concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems. She also supports those coping with grief and loss, sleep difficulties, parenting strains and life changes. Carmen works in both English and Spanish and brings six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her style centres on listening first and following the person's lead. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on clear, down-to-earth language rather than jargon.

Carmen uses a mix of approaches depending on what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps by linking thoughts, feelings and actions so people can test and change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, supports people to clarify what matters to them and take small, values-led steps when emotions feel overwhelming.

She also draws on client-centred work, which means conversations are guided by the client, and mindfulness practices to develop attention and calm. These methods are used together to tailor the work, not as rigid rules.

Carmen aims to create a supportive space where people can practise new ways of coping, reduce intense reactions and feel more able to face daily demands. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to match with her.

How Carmen adapts therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people see how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers simple experiments to test new ways of responding to anger or anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small action steps even when emotions feel strong; it can be useful for people coping with grief, shame or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. She will listen to what matters, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or medical appointments and reduce travel time. They also allow short check-ins when a full appointment is not possible, or sessions that do not require video when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices to an online setting so therapy fits into everyday routines.
