Precious Carrington-Gomes , BACP

Precious Carrington-Gomes is a counsellor with 15 years of experience in health and wellbeing work in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has focused much of her career on helping people handle stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. She works in a direct and approachable way that aims to make the first steps into therapy easier to take.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage strong feelings like anger and on building confidence and motivation. She also supports people facing trauma, intimacy-related worries and compassion fatigue.

Her practice draws on several therapeutic styles to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behaviour changes. Client-centred work keeps the pace set by the client and focuses on understanding and acceptance.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm and motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change. Psychodynamic ideas may be explored to understand how past experiences shape current patterns. Together these tools are chosen to suit the person in front of her.

People who contact her often want support with parenting pressures, life transitions or long-term health issues. She is experienced with concerns linked to attachment, codependency and body image. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are welcome.

How different approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the client’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the pace the client sets; this helps people who need time to find their words or who want a gentle space to think things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour by guiding short exercises and practical experiments between sessions.

Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention skills to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. These are easy to practise during a video call or between contacts using short guided exercises sent by message.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed, so people help choose what's most useful for them in session.

Online sessions offer flexibility that fits modern life. Video calls let people see and respond to visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quicker check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and to continue when life is busy.
