Miguel Echeverria , BACP

Miguel Echeverria is a BACP-registered British-Spanish psychotherapeutic counsellor who divides his time between Spain and the United Kingdom. Born in the Basque Country, his family moved frequently for work and he spent several years living in the United States before settling in the UK in 2001. That migration journey shaped a deep, lived understanding of belonging - to place, family and community - which informs his therapeutic work.

Miguel lived with depression and addictions through his 20s and 30s and pursued a personal path of healing that included meditation retreats, plant medicine, vision quests and a range of other practices. It was his own experience of therapy that ultimately led him to train as a counsellor so he could support others. He trained at the Re-vision training centre and achieved a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling. Alongside his private practice he also works with the mental health charity MIND in the UK.

His practice is integrative, drawing on depth and archetypal psychology with a psychodynamic foundation. This means he explores early experiences and family patterns alongside the potential for growth and emergence of what is authentic in a person. Sessions often use imagination, creativity, myth and story to move beyond the rational mind into deeper layers of meaning. Above all, he offers an attuned, empathic presence that listens to both what is spoken and what remains unexpressed. Miguel is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and his clinical work is insured and supervised.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how early relationships and past experiences shape current patterns of feeling, thinking and relating. It can help people understand recurring difficulties such as depression, anxiety and relationship problems by exploring underlying dynamics and unresolved conflicts.

Jungian therapy works with symbols, dreams and archetypal themes to uncover deeper layers of meaning and personal growth. This approach can be useful for those exploring life purpose, midlife shifts, feelings of emptiness or a search for more authentic expression.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds influence present-day intimacy, trust and coping. It can be especially relevant for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and patterns that affect close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Miguel will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the work as understanding develops.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow continuity across time zones and busy schedules. These options make it easier to access regular, consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel, helping people maintain momentum in their therapeutic work.
