About Juan

Juan Aracena is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also gives attention to issues like abandonment, attachment, control, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and questions about life purpose.

Juan uses a client-centred approach. Sessions are built around listening and reflecting rather than directing. He prioritises straightforward conversation to help people name what feels hard and what they want to change.

People often come to him when work, relationships or health leave them unsure what comes next. He aims to help people speak about what they are feeling and test out different ways of responding. Sessions tend to focus on making small, manageable steps rather than sweeping plans.

Juan works in English and Spanish. He does not take international clients at this time. His practice operates across the UK and he works with adults facing midlife questions, men dealing with role pressures, and those wrestling with mood and social anxiety concerns.

Practical matters such as cost depend on location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Juan practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means the focus is on the person rather than on techniques. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s pace so they can name what matters and consider new responses. This style suits people wrestling with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and questions about life purpose.

Client-Centred Therapy helps when someone needs a space to be heard without pressure to change immediately. The emphasis is on collaboration - the counsellor and client work together to find what feels most useful. Over a few sessions they review what helps and adjust the approach according to the client’s goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. The counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and agree the best format based on the client’s needs and everyday schedule.
