Miguel Echeverria , BACP

Miguel Echeverria is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings personal experience and training to his work. Born in the Basque Country in Spain, he lived in several countries during childhood because of his father’s work and spent a period in the United States before moving to the United Kingdom in 2001. For the past year he has been living between Spain and the UK, and his migration journey has given him a keen awareness of what it means to belong to a place, a family, or a community.

Throughout his twenties and thirties he faced depression and addictions, and those struggles led him on a long search for healing through meditation retreats, plant medicine, vision quests and other practices. While these experiences offered valuable perspectives, it was personal therapy that enabled deeper understanding and lasting change. That insight inspired him to train as a therapist and support others on their own journeys.

He completed a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling at the Re-vision training centre, a qualification that blends therapeutic methods with attention to meaning and personal growth. In addition to his private practice, he works for the mental health charity MIND in the UK. His approach is integrative, drawing on depth and archetypal psychology influenced by Jung and Hillman, with a psychodynamic foundation that explores how early experiences shape present life while also attending to potential for growth.

Miguel uses imagination, myth and storytelling alongside more traditional exploration to access deeper layers of experience. He emphasizes an attuned, empathic presence that listens not only to what is said but also to what remains unspoken. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and his work is carried out with appropriate supervision and insurance.
