Carey-Sue Ham

Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people recover from trauma, addiction, anxiety and depression, and offers support for those affected by narcissistic abuse. Carey-Sue believes people are the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths to move forward.

Her approach is warm and collaborative. She listens first and helps people set practical, manageable goals. Sessions aim to build on what already works in a person’s life and to find new ways to cope with stress, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem.

Carey-Sue integrates several methods depending on what a client needs. She uses client-centred ways of working to prioritise each person’s own perspective. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques help when relationships and attachment issues are central concerns.

Mindfulness-based practices are offered to manage anxiety, stress, and compassion fatigue through simple attention and breathing exercises. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change around addiction or health-related goals by exploring readiness and practical next steps.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment and avoidant tendencies. Carey-Sue works in English and accepts international clients, and she asks people to check session arrangements before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Carey-Sue commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows each person’s lead, listens without judgement and helps people make choices that feel right for them. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, life changes and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to help when attachment and intimacy difficulties are important. EFT techniques focus on recognising emotions in relationship patterns and creating new ways to connect or respond.

Mindfulness Therapy is offered to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carey-Sue will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to adapt methods as progress unfolds and to involve clients in choices about what to try.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and offer a quieter setting when that helps concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online work to suit each person’s practical circumstances.
