Carmen Slobozeanu, BACP

Carmen Slobozeanu is a counsellor and an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of practice in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Romanian. Carmen aims to create a calm space where people can be heard and treated with respect as they talk through difficult feelings and situations.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, from stress, anxiety and depression to grief and trauma. She also supports people facing issues with self-esteem, addiction, sleep, eating, parenting and relationship difficulties. Carmen pays attention to extra challenges such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, ageing concerns and attachment difficulties.

Carmen uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping.

Her sessions aim to be warm, non-judgemental and practical. Carmen wants people to feel understood while they try small steps that can change how they cope day to day. She emphasises honesty and personal values as part of long-term change.

People who choose her often want a counsellor who combines empathy with clear strategies. Carmen encourages openness and steady progress rather than quick fixes. If someone is ready to try talking through their concerns, she offers a supportive space to begin that work.

How Carmen's approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client and offers acceptance to help them feel safe enough to talk. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to test new ways of thinking and acting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people name and work with strong emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Carmen will work together with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their goals and circumstances. That collaboration means approaches can be adjusted as the work develops.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time and allow quieter check-ins between other commitments. Some formats also need less bandwidth or let people keep cameras off for a shorter check-in. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches effectively when they match the client’s needs and preferences.
