Carmen Roberts, BACP

Carmen Roberts is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and bereavement. She explains things simply and works with clients to regain control when problems begin to take over. Carmen aims to make each session practical and focused on what the person needs now. 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. In addition to private practice she volunteers with Cruse Bereavement Care and has worked in NHS eating disorder services and with the police force. Her style blends Attachment-Based Therapy with psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. That means she pays attention to how early relationships affect current feelings, looks at patterns that repeat, and aims to set small, achievable steps for change. Sessions are straightforward and aim to help people relieve distress, improve communication and manage addictive behaviours. Carmen also supports people with body image concerns, codependency, commitment issues, family problems and grief. She can help those facing domestic violence, separation or who are coping with emptiness and co-morbid conditions. The approach is tailored to each person rather than a fixed programme. She works in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English.

How Carmen’s approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people feel and relate now. It can help with trust, abandonment worries and patterns that affect current relationships. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on repeating patterns and the feelings that drive them. It helps people spot unseen influences on their behaviour and start making different choices. Solution-Focused Therapy is practical and future-facing, using small, achievable steps to move someone toward their goals. This works well for people wanting quick, concrete changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adapts the plan as things change. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that better suits a day at work. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer a range of ways to meet, so check the current options and schedule that best match daily life.
