About Femi

Femi Carty offers counselling for people dealing with relationship pain, grief, parenting strain, depression, anxiety and stress. He also helps those facing addiction, trauma, intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and ADHD-related struggles. Femi works to understand what matters to each person and to find practical ways forward when life feels overwhelming.

Femi describes himself as an integrative counsellor who adapts methods to fit individual needs. He listens without judgement and helps clients notice thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going. Together, client and counsellor plan steps that feel manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.

In sessions he begins with an assessment to understand current mental health and reasons for seeking support. That first meeting is used to agree goals and outline how future sessions will proceed. People can expect a calm, steady pace and clear explanations of any suggested approaches.

Femi holds a BACP credential with four years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. He offers both telephone and video sessions at times designed to fit different schedules. If international contact is needed he can work with clients outside the UK, subject to arranging suitable times.

His aim is to help people gain more confidence and a greater sense of control over their lives. Sessions focus on practical strategies, clearer communication, and understanding patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds affect present relationships and feelings of safety. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in current relationships and to practise different ways of connecting and responding.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens openly and follows the client's pace, helping people clarify their own goals and make choices that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and stress by teaching strategies that can be practised between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as the work progresses, working together to find a good fit for needs and preferences.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Telephone sessions may suit times when video is difficult, while video lets people use visual cues during conversations. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking to ensure they match your schedule and needs.
