Femi Carty , BACP

Femi Carty is an integrative counsellor who creates a warm, non-judgemental environment for people navigating relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma and a wide range of life changes. He combines several therapeutic methods to tailor the work to each person, putting the individual at the centre of the process and helping them explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find practical ways forward.

As an integrative practitioner, Femi draws on different approaches to match what will work best for a client’s needs rather than following a single method. He holds the credential BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. His practice emphasises collaboration, listening, and building strategies that support longer-term coping and emotional wellbeing.

Femi offers both face-to-face and online counselling to suit individual circumstances. He provides telephone sessions throughout the day and is available for video sessions from 6:00pm onwards UK time, so people can choose the format that feels most comfortable. The first appointment begins with an assessment to understand current mental health and reasons for seeking counselling, and together they plan the goals and structure of future sessions to help clients feel more confident and in control.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Femi commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections - it can help with intimacy, relationship difficulties and issues around abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s perspective and aims to create a supportive, empathetic space where people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions - it is useful for building self-esteem and working through life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and to develop practical coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Femi works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals and personal preferences, adapting methods so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, over the phone, through live chat or via text-based messaging. This range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones, and it helps people access licensed professionals and therapists when in-person sessions are not convenient. Femi’s practice uses these options to provide consistent, scheduled support that matches each client’s lifestyle and needs.
