Femi Carty, BACP

Femi Carty offers counselling for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, trauma and abuse, and life changes. He explains things simply and aims to make the first step less daunting. Sessions begin with an assessment to understand what is happening now and what the client hopes to change.

Femi describes himself as an integrative counsellor who uses different approaches to suit each person. That means he may draw on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, or use cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts. He works collaboratively to shape each plan and checks in on progress along the way.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about feelings, behaviour and practical problems. The first meeting focuses on gathering information and setting goals for ongoing work. Later sessions focus on the strategies agreed together and on building confidence to manage difficulties.

Femi holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has four years' professional experience and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and arrangements can be made for international clients.

To suit different needs, telephone appointments are available throughout the day and video sessions start from 6:00pm UK time. Clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the published process.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feelings. It can help when anxious or avoidant responses show up in close relationships and when someone wants clearer ways to relate to others.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to find their own solutions. It helps people who want a calm, non-directive space to make sense of feelings and decide what to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each client to decide which methods to try, based on their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is revisited as the work progresses and adjusted if something is not helping.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Telephone appointments are available throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time, but clients should confirm current session options before booking. Remote sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from a location that suits their schedule rather than travelling to an appointment.
