Carlos Calvet Ortin, BACP

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist based in London who brings eight years of clinical experience to his practice. He works with people facing loss in many forms - from the death of a loved one to the end of relationships, job changes, and other meaningful losses - offering time and space to explore how these experiences shape daily life and identity.

Alongside bereavement work, Carlos supports clients with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, death anxiety, feeling stuck, communication difficulties, questions of identity, obsessive thoughts, and the impact of miscarriage. He has practised in diverse settings such as private practice, employee assistance programmes, healthcare providers, charities, and schools, and understands the emotional challenges experienced by those who have recently moved to the UK and feel distant from family or community.

His work is integrative with a person-centred model at its core - meeting each person where they are and drawing on different therapeutic tools as needed. Carlos holds a degree in Fine Arts, and he often weaves creativity and imagination into sessions to help access unconscious material and rediscover neglected parts of the self. His training includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a Level 4 Advanced CBT Diploma Course, a Certification Program in Advanced Trauma, PTSD and Dissociation, and a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Supervision. He offers therapy in both English and Spanish and aims to provide a non-judgemental space to explore concerns at the client’s pace.

Approaches and Online Support with Carlos Calvet Ortin

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work - the therapist offers empathic understanding and supports the client’s own capacity for growth, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and feeling stuck. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and relationships, offering ways to understand recurring difficulties such as communication problems, identity concerns, or repetitive emotional reactions. Existential Therapy examines questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people facing life transitions, midlife questions, or struggles with purpose to find clarity and direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and typically unfolds collaboratively. Carlos will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful - drawing on his person-centred foundations and integrating other methods as needed - so the approach reflects the client’s goals, background, and preferences.

Online therapy with Carlos is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while still receiving support from a registered professional.
