About Carlos Pomales

Personal Story

Life isn’t meant to feel this complicated. We all want to feel seen and connected. For me, understanding people has never been just an interest; it’s a way of being.

I believe that life is far more interconnected than we often acknowledge. Each of us carries complex stories, shaped by choices, dreams, trauma, and meaning. Even the smallest interactions ripple outwards, affecting others in ways we may never see. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been curious about what lies beneath the surface of people’s words and actions..

For me, counselling is about helping people untangle their sense of satisfaction from life’s complexity. It’s about facilitating understanding within themselves, with others, and in the wider world. Creating a space where people can pause amidst the noise of life, speak without judgment, and explore who they are and who they want to become.

“Take your time, don’t live too fast… Be something you love and understand." - Lynrd Skynyrd

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw upon Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Humanistic, and Client-Centred Therapies, combined with Mindfulness and Somatic interventions. I also use Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy to gently challenge unhelpful or conflicting beliefs. This integrative approach supports clients across relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, men’s wellbeing, Veterans’ mental healt, and multicultural experiences.

My Counselling style is guided by Carl Rogers' approach to being present, genuine, naturally curious and holding space for where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions without judgement. Naturally I am explorative, philosophical, empathic, and warm.

Uniquely, I am guided by the Enso symbol, which represents enlightenment, the true self, and the beauty of imperfection.

At the end of our work together, I hope you feel lighter, clearer, and more at peace with yourself and the world around you.

My hope is that you walk away with a stronger sense of self, feeling empowered to reflect honestly and deeply. I want you to leave with practical tools to recognise your uniqueness as the author of your life; free to decide how you want to feel, who you want to become, and what truly matters to you.

“Strength begins within – it starts with the courage to look inward. then the willingness to do the hard work of self-exploration.”
