Carryn Williams , BACP

Carryn Williams welcomes people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, low in confidence, or like they are not quite themselves. She is straightforward and approachable, and invites clients to come as they are rather than arriving with a diagnosis or a plan. Sessions aim to help people untangle thoughts and feelings so they can make clearer choices about what to do next.

Carryn works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and grief. She also supports people coping with family and parenting strain, addictions, intimacy-related worries and sleep problems. Her practice includes additional focus on attachment and abandonment issues, blended family tensions, body image, and care-related stress.

Her ways of working draw on client-centred therapy, emotionally-focused techniques and hypnotherapy approaches. In a session she listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Practical strategies and simple exercises are offered when they suit the person and the problem.

Carryn has six years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She is based in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Her approach aims to be collaborative so people leave sessions with clear, manageable next steps.

People start by describing what feels difficult and together they decide on goals. The focus is on small, achievable changes and on building a clearer sense of self and direction.

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on seeing and hearing the person in front of the counsellor. It involves open listening, reflection and helping people identify their own solutions. This approach can help with low self-esteem, life transitions and feeling stuck.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and how feelings drive those patterns. It helps people notice emotional responses and try new ways of communicating, which can be useful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people work with habits, anxiety and some stress-related issues. Sessions may include simple exercises to help people respond differently to old patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adapt the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on real progress.
