Femi Carty, BACP

Femi Carty is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy concerns, self-esteem issues and coping with life changes. He works with people experiencing chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD and a range of attachment-related difficulties.

Femi creates a calm, non-judgemental space for conversations about thoughts, feelings and behaviour. He uses a client-centred, collaborative style that keeps the person at the heart of the work. Clients can expect practical conversation and gentle challenge to find what helps in everyday life.

He describes himself as an integrative counsellor and draws on several approaches to suit individual needs. These include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, as well as Jungian and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions begin with an assessment to map out concerns and agree goals.

Femi offers both telephone and video sessions, with telephone appointments available throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time. He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients and works in English. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

His aim is to help people feel more confident and in control. Early sessions focus on understanding current difficulties and planning practical steps. Later work adapts to each person's progress and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can look at patterns in relationships, helping people understand why they feel or react in certain ways and how to build more secure interactions. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their own pace at the centre. In sessions the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is shared and helps the person make sense of their experience and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful, try methods out and agree a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Femi offers telephone appointments throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time, so you can pick what fits your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or medical appointments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure the format suits you.
