Miguel Echeverria

Miguel Echeverria is a BACP registered British/Spanish psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings personal and professional experience to his practice. Born in the Basque Country in Spain, he moved frequently during childhood because of his father’s work and spent a few years living in the USA before relocating 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 group or a family.

Throughout much of his 20s and 30s he struggled with depression and addictions, which later led him to explore many paths toward healing, including meditation retreats, plant medicine, vision quests and other esoteric and non-esoteric practices. Those experiences contributed to his growth, but it was engaging in his own therapy that provided a deeper understanding of himself and his circumstances. Motivated by that transformation, he trained to support others and completed a three-year training at the Re-vision training centre, earning a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling.

Miguel works in private practice and also contributes to the UK mental health charity MIND. His approach is integrative, informed by depth and archetypal psychology - drawing on thinkers such as Jung and Hillman - with a psychodynamic foundation. This means he explores early life and formative experiences while also attending to the potential for growth that emerges from those experiences. He often frames presenting difficulties as gateways into the authentic self.

Rather than focusing solely on behavioural techniques, Miguel weaves imagination, creativity, myth and storytelling into sessions to move beyond the rational mind and access deeper meaning. His work adapts to the needs of each person he sees, and he offers an attuned, empathic and holding presence that listens to both what is said and what remains unspoken. He is registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and his work is supervised and insured.
