About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor with nine years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works from a belief that each person knows their own story and already has strengths to draw on. She aims to provide steady support while people take steps toward change.
Carey-Sue focuses on common and painful issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, sleep difficulties, anger and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
ADHD, compassion fatigue and major life transitions are among other areas she supports. Her approach places the client's experience at the centre of sessions. Carey-Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and respond to what matters most to the client.
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help understand and change patterns in close relationships, and Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment skills for stress and anxiety. Sessions blend practical conversation with space to reflect. Motivational Interviewing is used when people need help finding motivation and making changes.
Psychodynamic ideas can be included to look at how past patterns influence today's feelings and choices. Carey-Sue is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is noted here as her professional credential. She offers sessions in English and can work with people in the UK and internationally via online formats.

How Carey-Sue’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. In practice this means the therapist follows what the client brings, reflects back what matters and helps the client find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change emotional responses that keep causing pain. This can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns and recurring conflict. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce rumination and manage anxiety and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carey-Sue will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods accordingly. The choice of approach can change as progress unfolds, and she encourages clients to give feedback so sessions remain useful. Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let clients see facial cues and share a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth or not being on camera helps. Live chat or text-based messaging offers brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and support continued contact when in-person appointments are not possible.Frequently asked
