Background and approach

He avoids jargon and keeps sessions grounded in day-to-day life. Common issues he supports include anxiety, depression, anger and low self-esteem. He also works with people facing attachment or abandonment worries, control issues, shame and guilt, isolation and midlife questions.

Sexuality, men’s issues and social anxiety are also areas he can address. His therapeutic style is collaborative and paced to each person. People set the topics and Juan helps them find clarity, new perspectives and practical ways to cope with stress and strong emotions.

Work may include talking through difficult moments, noticing patterns, and testing small changes between sessions. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules according to therapist availability.

Client-centred care online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship worries and feelings of low self-worth because it focuses on understanding the person's experience rather than giving instructions.

In practice this means sessions concentrate on what matters most to the person. The counsellor and client decide together which topics to explore and what practical steps to try between sessions. That collaborative way of working helps people test changes at a pace that suits them.

Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feeling, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports a quicker check-in, and text messaging lets people keep a therapy dialogue over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
