Carlos Calvet Ortin

Carlos Calvet Ortin is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in the United Kingdom. He holds the BACP credential and has eight years of experience. He is bilingual and offers sessions in English and Spanish.

He began his work focusing on loss in many forms - the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a job, or other deep changes. He aims to provide a calm space to talk about what has been lost and how it affects day-to-day life. He also helps people who feel stuck, lonely, worried, or low in mood.

Over the years Carlos has worked in private practice, Employee Assistance Programmes, healthcare settings, charities, and schools. That variety has given him experience with different life situations, including people who have recently moved to the UK and feel distant from family and community.

His counselling draws on several approaches, with a client-centred model at the heart of his work. He mixes psychodynamic and existential ideas when these fit the person he is seeing. He adapts his way of working to what each individual needs rather than following one fixed method.

Carlos also brings a creative background to therapy, with a degree in Fine Arts that informs how he thinks about imagination and the unconscious. He suggests creative ways to get in touch with feelings that are hard to name, and he explores these gently and at the client’s pace.

How his approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of sessions and emphasises listening, empathy and the client’s own goals. This approach helps when someone wants space to be heard and to make their own choices about change.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, freedom and the choices people face. It can be useful for those struggling with life purpose, midlife questions, or the loss of roles and identity after big life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns, past influences and the unconscious material that shapes feelings and behaviour. It can help when certain reactions repeat and cause distress in relationships or daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carlos will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape how sessions proceed and what is tried between meetings.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats with the practice before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to meet with a bilingual counsellor without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to offer continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
