Miguel Echeverria, BACP

Miguel Echeverria is a BACP registered British-Spanish psychotherapeutic counsellor whose personal and professional journey informs his work. Born in the Basque Country, he lived in several countries including a period in the United States before settling in the United Kingdom in 2001 and has spent time living between Spain and the UK. That migration experience shaped a deep interest in belonging - to place, family and community - and has influenced his therapeutic focus.

During his twenties and thirties he worked through episodes of depression and struggles with addiction, and later explored a range of healing practices from meditation retreats and plant medicine to vision quests. Those experiences, and the insight gained from his own therapy, led him to train as a counsellor. He studied at Re-vision and achieved a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling - a qualification that combines psychological approaches with transpersonal perspectives that attend to meaning and spiritual dimensions.

His practice draws on depth and archetypal psychology alongside a psychodynamic foundation. This means he explores formative childhood experiences and relational patterns while also attending to inner resources and potential for growth. He often uses imagination, myth and storytelling to move beyond the purely rational mind and to access deeper layers of experience. Miguel works in private practice and also contributes to the UK mental health charity MIND. He provides therapy in English and Spanish, is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and carries professional insurance and regular supervision.
