Carmen Castillo, BACP

Carmen Castillo is a UK-based integrative counsellor with 10 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She works in both English and Spanish and offers a gentle, non-judgmental style that encourages clients to explore how past experiences and current patterns influence day-to-day life. By combining practical strategies with a nurturing therapeutic relationship, she helps people access their inner resources for healing and develop clearer ways of living that reflect their values and goals.

Carmen tailors her work to each individual, drawing on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered approaches and Mindfulness to address emotional, bodily and relational needs. Her practice attends to a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, addictions, chronic illness, career and intimacy-related problems, as well as cultural and identity-related stressors. She is experienced supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with varied sexual orientations and gender identities.

Committed to a holistic view of wellbeing, Carmen supports clients to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, cultivate self-compassion and put practical self-care into action. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
