About Juan
Juan Aracena is a counsellor with a BACP credential and four years of clinical experience. He focuses on straightforward, person-centred work that helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. He speaks English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom.
Juan aims to build a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. He listens closely and follows the pace set by the person in the room.
Background and approach
Sessions concentrate on understanding feelings, making sense of difficult moments and finding practical ways to cope day to day. His experience includes helping people with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem and issues around attachment or abandonment. He also supports people facing life-purpose questions, midlife concerns, sexual identity issues, social anxiety and mood-related problems.
Work is tailored to the person rather than a fixed programme. Juan describes his approach as Client-Centred Therapy, which means he places the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. The focus is on empathy, active listening and building trust so people can explore their thoughts and emotions more clearly.
Practical steps in his sessions include talking things through, reflecting on patterns, and trying small changes between meetings. He encourages collaboration on goals and reviews progress as work continues. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Juan works online
Working this way online means the same focus on empathy and collaboration. The therapist will work with each person to find the right tone and pace, checking in about what is helpful and adjusting as goals become clearer. Deciding which methods to use is a shared process based on needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family commitments and removing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins that do not require video, while others choose a full session with more time to talk; confirm the current session options before booking. The aim is to make talks about feelings and coping fit into everyday life, with the therapist and client working together to plan useful next steps.
