About Mercedes
Mercedes B Caballero is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her approach begins from the view that the client knows their life best. She listens for what matters to the person and follows their pace. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage feelings, improve communication and rebuild confidence.
She uses ideas from attachment-based work to notice how past relationships shape present worries. Client-centred methods are used to keep sessions grounded in what the person wants to explore. Internal Family Systems helps name different parts of a person's experience and make sense of inner conflicts.
Mercedes also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning, purpose and the choices a person might make next. In practice that means asking direct questions, reflecting what is said, and helping people weigh options for change. Typical topics include coping with life changes, grief, anger and addictions, plus issues around guilt, forgiveness and self-love.
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. People can expect to talk through current problems, try small changes between meetings, and review what is helping over time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds can shape current fears and relationship patterns. In an online session this can help when anxiety or trust issues affect friendships or partnerships. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace, using direct listening and reflection to help someone clarify what they want to change.Internal Family Systems gives language to the different feelings inside a person, such as a critical part or a protective part. Naming these parts can make strong emotions easier to discuss and manage while working remotely. Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Progress is reviewed together and the plan is adjusted if something does not fit.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family time, reduce travel, and allow for shorter or longer meetings depending on what the client needs. They also make it possible to work with a therapist in the UK or from elsewhere if international contact is preferred.
