About Carmen
Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. She also supports clients facing grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting strain and trauma and abuse. Carmen speaks English and Spanish and brings six years of hands-on experience to sessions.
She works from the idea that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on the client’s goals and strengths.
Background and approach
Carmen offers practical ways to cope while also listening closely to the challenges behind emotions and behaviours. Her approach mixes clear, evidence-informed tools with a warm, person-centred stance. Clients can expect CBT techniques that look at thoughts and behaviours, alongside mindfulness practices to calm the mind.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. In a typical meeting Carmen will help set simple, realistic goals together. She uses exercises, reflective conversation and breathing or grounding practices during work.
The aim is to leave clients with ways to handle difficult moments between sessions. People contact Carmen for many issues including anger, sleep problems, communication breakdowns, family of origin concerns, abandonment and attachment worries. She also addresses chronic pain, co-morbidity, codependency, infidelity and related stresses.
Her style is practical, patient and focused on what will help in daily life.

How Carmen’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps. It often involves exercises to clarify priorities and skills to accept uncomfortable feelings while acting on chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours. Practical worksheets, behaviour experiments and short homework tasks are typical tools used to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. Carmen will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they set short goals and adapt techniques so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or shorter sessions that fit around work or family commitments. These options offer flexibility while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
