Femi Carty , BACP

Femi Carty is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and parenting challenges. He also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, self‑esteem and life changes. Sessions address day-to-day stress, career worries, ADHD-related struggles and intimacy or sexual concerns in a straightforward way.

Femi takes an integrative approach and adapts methods to each person. He listens first and helps clients make practical plans they can try between sessions. Conversations focus on feelings, patterns and small steps that build better coping over time.

In early sessions he completes a short assessment to understand current mental health and the reasons for seeking counselling. Together with the client he agrees on goals and a way of working that suits individual needs and pacing. This helps keep the work relevant and focused.

He offers both online and telephone appointments, with video sessions available from 18:00 UK time. This flexibility is intended to make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and other commitments. International clients may also be supported in English.

Femi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He brings four years of professional experience to his practice and works to make sessions welcoming, non-judgemental and practical.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in close relationships and to practise new ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering empathy and acceptance while clients set the pace. This helps with self‑esteem, grief and big life decisions by giving space to reflect without pressure.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest methods that suit the client. This is a collaborative process so adjustments can be made as trust and understanding grow over several sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work more like a face-to-face meeting. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
