Background and approach
Juan aims to give straightforward support so people can feel understood and begin to make changes. People come to him for issues such as abandonment fears, attachment worries, control problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity and loneliness. He also helps with questions about life purpose, men’s issues, midlife transitions, mood difficulties, sexuality and social anxiety or phobia.
Juan keeps his approach simple and practical. He focuses on what matters to the person in front of him and adapts conversations to fit their goals. Sessions combine open listening with gentle challenge when it helps someone see things differently.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary depending on location and the subscription used. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor gives space for the person to talk and reflects back what they hear. This helps with issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and feelings of isolation by encouraging people to find their own solutions.Juan uses this approach in online sessions by prioritising the person's experience and preferences. The therapist and client work together to choose the best way to proceed, adjusting tone, pace and focus to match the individual's goals and needs. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult. Live chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing, and text-based messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines, so people can get support in ways that suit them.
