Juan Varela-Tenorio

I'm Juan and I hold trainee membership with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I am also undertaking an MA in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC). 

I abide by the code of ethics for both organisations and have full, valid professional insurance.

My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, inclusive environment where you can redefine your self-narrative and build a life that feels authentically yours. 

Having grown up in a multilingual family dynamic with English and Spanish seasoned with Arabic, French and Italian, I am particularly sensitive to cultural nuances and concepts that don't quite translate.

I have also worked with several clients on a low cost basis with the mental health charity Mind

My practice is a space for individuals navigating a wide range of life challenges. You might be reaching out because you are navigating anxiety, depression, exploring your identity, sexuality or relationship structures. You may be someone who feels 'in-between' cultures and are searching for a true sense of belonging. Perhaps your intersecting identities or life experiences have left you feeling misunderstood or fundamentally disconnected from your sense of self (and others).

I believe healing is possible within a strong, collaborative relationship. You bring the raw material of your life, and I bring a variety of ways to help you process it. It is my hope that together, we can create the safety necessary for you to be seen in your full complexity. My integrative method means I draw from various therapeutic tools to meet you exactly where you are in life.

As part of my training, I receive regular supervision with a UKCP registered psychotherapist who is also a member of the BCPC teaching faculty.
