About Carmen
Carmen Ramos Bolivar is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. Carmen also helps with parenting worries, sleep difficulties, anger, coping with life changes and experiences of trauma and abuse.
She works from the view that each person knows their story best. Carmen uses clear, conversational sessions to help people notice patterns that hold them back. Conversations often focus on practical steps for managing mood, setting boundaries and rebuilding confidence.
Carmen draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of acting. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, manageable steps towards those values. Mindfulness practices appear when useful to reduce overwhelm and increase attention to the present.
Her style is client-centred and straightforward. Sessions are collaborative and designed to be practical rather than theoretical. Carmen often combines talking work with simple exercises to practise between meetings.
She works in English and Spanish. For people weighing up therapy, Carmen advises a short matching questionnaire and an initial session to see if the approach feels like a good fit. Booking starts by selecting the online therapy options and completing the brief intake steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions using CBT focus on spotting unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviours and practising small changes between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasises getting clear about personal values and taking manageable steps towards them. In remote sessions ACT techniques include brief exercises to notice thoughts and commit to value-led behaviour, which can support people wrestling with relationship patterns or codependency-type behaviours.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client in early sessions and agree together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. Changes can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy routines, makes it easier to attend from a familiar location, or allows shorter check-ins when required. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing, homework and session length to match everyday life and practical constraints.
