Carly Tewkesbury-Witham , BACP

Carly Tewkesbury-Witham is a qualified person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with over four years of professional experience. She works in a non-directive, gentle, and affirming way that prioritises the client's perspective and strengths.

Carly has experience supporting people who identify as neurodiverse and assists clients dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, confidence issues, grief, and major life changes. Her practice emphasises listening, empathy, and collaboration so that each person can explore their story and build on the resources they already have.

She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and that their existing strengths can help them face current difficulties. Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, and Carly aims to make that process feel more manageable and less intimidating. She invites people to reach out when they are ready and offers a supportive, person-focused setting for that work.

Carly holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership - which reflects professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Client-Centered and Neurodiversity-Informed Online Support

Carly practises client-centered therapy, an approach that focuses on listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. This non-directive style creates space for individuals to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen confidence - it is commonly used for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and managing life changes.

Alongside a person-centred stance, Carly brings experience working with neurodiversity and adapts her pace and communication to meet each person's needs. This neurodiversity-informed perspective helps when clients need tailored ways to process information, improve communication, or find strategies that fit how they think and experience the world.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Carly works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to shape sessions so the work feels useful and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs. These options support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient for them.
