About Carmen
Carmen Roberts is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and grief. She frames difficulties as things people often try to control, and works with clients to regain a sense of choice and direction in life and relationships. She draws on ideas about attachment and early relationships to understand how people relate now.
Carmen also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at recurring patterns and Solution-Focused approaches to set clear, practical goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded rather than full of jargon. Carmen trained in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a Diploma in Criminal Psychology. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her background includes work with bereavement services and an NHS eating disorders unit. Her experience includes supporting people affected by domestic violence, addiction, eating and food-related issues, and separation. She also helps clients who struggle with abandonment, attachment worries, codependency, communication and control issues.
Carmen takes a person-centred view and adapts methods to each situation. In practice she uses a blend of talking techniques, practical goal work and reflection on past patterns. Clients can expect a conversational, respectful approach that balances exploring feelings with finding small, manageable changes.
Sessions are aimed at helping people feel more in control and clearer about next steps.

How Carmen's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections. It can help when trust, closeness or fear of abandonment cause ongoing distress. Psychodynamic Therapy explores repeated habits, feelings and memories that show up now. That approach helps people understand why they react in certain ways and how past experiences shape present life. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and clear goals so people can build on what already works for them.Carmen treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on which methods to try. The plan can change as the work progresses, so clients have input at every stage.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options offer flexibility for different days and routines and help people get steady support without a long commute.
