About Juan

Juan Aracena is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of professional practice. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing depression and relationship concerns. Juan communicates in English and Spanish and works from the United Kingdom.

Juan uses a client-centred style that puts the person's experience first. Sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the client. He then helps people name feelings, spot patterns and try small changes that feel doable. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person's comfort.

Many people come for help with intense emotions such as anger, guilt or shame. Others seek support with attachment or abandonment worries, impulsivity, isolation, or a midlife crossroads. Juan also hears concerns about sexuality, life purpose and social anxiety. He aims to help clients find clearer choices in daily life.

Practical skills and steady listening are both part of Juan's work. He encourages steps that can be used between sessions, such as simple coping strategies and short reflections on reactions. Progress is measured by what feels different in day-to-day life rather than by labels.

People who prefer a respectful, warm and non-judgemental conversation tend to find this approach helpful. Juan invites people to bring honest questions and tries to make the first meetings feel understandable and manageable.

Client-centred work and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and supports the person to make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can help with issues like anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and relationship concerns by focusing on the client's perspective and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide what style feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy unfolds.

The practical benefits of online work often include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel requirements. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited, while others use longer sessions for deeper conversation. Please confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
