About Carmen
Her work is rooted in understanding how formative experiences and past relationships shape current patterns. Carmen helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioural habits, while encouraging practical self-care and self-compassion to support lasting change. She places emphasis on connecting with emotion as a pathway to greater clarity and wellbeing.
Working holistically, Carmen considers feelings, the body, the mind, and the wider context of a person’s life. She tailors interventions to individual needs, drawing on client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioural tools, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, and attachment-focused work. She has experience supporting people from a range of cultural backgrounds and diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.
Carmen is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and practises in line with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
Approach-led Online Therapy for Practical Change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses, and it can be helpful for abandonment, intimacy, and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and building practical skills to shift them, which many people find useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and managing addictive behaviours.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Carmen collaborates with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to attend from different locations or work around busy schedules. Working remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from a distance, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while still receiving structured, evidence-informed therapeutic support.
