About Juan
He focuses on clear, straightforward work in session. Juan listens and reflects so people can explore feelings like anger, shame or loneliness. He aims to help clients notice patterns and make small practical changes that feel manageable in day-to-day life.
Many clients seek him out for help with low mood, self-esteem and midlife questions. He also supports people coping with attachment concerns, issues around control, impulsivity and sexual matters. Sessions tend to centre on what matters now and what a person wants to change or understand.
Juan describes his style as warm and non-judgemental. He gives space for people to talk without pressure and checks in about goals as therapy progresses. Work together can include talking things through, building coping steps and testing new ways of responding to difficult situations.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model. If unsure about formats, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Juan uses person-centred work online
Juan practices Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on the person's own perspective. The approach involves active listening and reflecting back what the person says so they can better understand their feelings and choices. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and questions about life purpose.In sessions he focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental dialogue. The therapist and client review goals together and adjust the approach as needed. Finding the right way of working is collaborative and may change over time as needs and preferences become clearer.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to have shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current online and in-person options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine and needs.
