Juan Aracena, BACP

Juan Aracena is a client-centered therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings four years of professional experience to his practice. He focuses on supporting teenagers and adults through a compassionate, person-centred approach that prioritizes empathy, respect, and each person’s autonomy. Juan works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem challenges, and depression, and he also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment and control difficulties, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, midlife transitions, mood disorders, sexuality, and social anxiety and phobia.

He provides therapy both online and face-to-face, offering flexible formats to suit different needs and circumstances. With particular experience supporting young people, Juan helps teenagers manage anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem while building resilience and self-awareness. In his work with adults he often focuses on managing stress, navigating relationship concerns, and coping with major life transitions, always attending to the whole person rather than just symptoms.

Juan holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and stays current with developments in mental health to ensure high-quality care. He aims to create a trusting, collaborative therapeutic relationship that empowers clients to explore their challenges, discover new perspectives, and work toward meaningful personal growth.
