About Juan

Juan Aracena is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem and depression, and also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and social anxiety and phobia.

He adopts a client-centred approach that keeps conversations straightforward and humane. Sessions tend to focus on listening, reflecting what the person says and helping them make sense of difficult feelings. Juan aims to be practical in sessions, exploring coping ideas and everyday steps to try between meetings.

People who feel watched, judged or anxious in social situations may find the sessions oriented towards small, manageable changes. He also supports people dealing with low mood, life-direction questions and relationship strain. The work often includes talking through patterns that keep problems going and testing out new ways of approaching situations.

Juan speaks English and Spanish, and he sees people in the UK. His BACP credential is listed as part of his professional details. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled once the initial steps are complete. Prospective clients are advised to confirm current session options before booking.

How Juan uses client-centred work online

Juan uses Client-Centred Therapy online, which focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. This approach helps people who are struggling to name feelings or who want a space to think through relationship worries, low mood or social anxiety and phobia without being told what to do.

The process is collaborative. Juan will work with each person to decide how sessions should run and which approaches to try next. He checks in about goals and preferences and adapts the conversations to what feels most useful for the person at the time.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats are not listed in his biography, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online meetings easier to schedule during a work break or when a shorter check-in is needed, and the therapist can suggest ways to pace sessions so they suit each person’s routine.
