Carmen Roberts , BACP

Carmen Roberts is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She describes how unhelpful coping can start to control life, and works with clients to regain a sense of choice and direction. Carmen presents a calm, practical approach that focuses on everyday changes people can use now.

She trained in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a Diploma in Criminal Psychology. Carmen is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That background informs how she thinks about behaviour, loss and safety in relationships.

In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover repeated themes that leave people feeling stuck. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals and small steps forward.

Carmen has seven years of counselling experience and has worked in clinical and community settings. Her past roles include supporting people at an NHS eating disorders unit, contributing to bereavement services and working with a police force, as well as running employee wellbeing work.

She offers online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Carmen works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. If someone wants practical, discussion-based support for emotional and relationship problems, she can help map a way forward.

Approaches that guide online work and practical remote support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape how people relate now. It helps identify patterns of closeness, abandonment worries and trust that affect current relationships and feelings. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on recurring themes and unhelpful patterns that repeat over time; it helps people see underlying causes of emotions and behaviour so they can make different choices. Solution-Focused Therapy is forward-looking and practical; it helps set small, concrete goals and build steps that move daily life in a new direction.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Carmen will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which combination of methods feels most useful and make adjustments as work progresses.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation, while phone work can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Text and chat options suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life, work and caring responsibilities, while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotionally focused work with a registered or accredited professional.
