About Carmen
She helps people facing stress and anxiety, relationship tensions, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant personality patterns, blended family strain and communication problems. Practical matters like career changes and coping with life transitions are part of her caseload too.
Carmen draws on a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. Client-Centred Therapy shapes the way she listens, while Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help break unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also uses Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused ideas when they suit the situation.
Sessions are framed around simple, achievable goals. Carmen prefers to work collaboratively, helping people set steps they can try between meetings and checking what helps. The tone is down-to-earth and supportive, with a focus on practical change rather than jargon.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Prospective clients are invited to reflect on what they want from therapy and to start with a short matching questionnaire before booking a session.

How therapy approaches work online
Carmen uses a combination of Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centred Therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them shape the pace and focus of sessions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carmen will discuss goals and preferences in early meetings and help decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as things progress.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks or making it simpler to attend from a familiar location. It also gives flexibility to try different ways of meeting while keeping the focus on practical steps and goals agreed with the therapist.

Before you get in touch
Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.
If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
