About Carly

Carly Tewkesbury-Witham is a person-centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She offers a calm, non-directive approach that aims to create a gentle and affirming space for people to talk about what matters to them. Carly focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or struggling after loss or big life changes.

She encourages clients to use their own strengths when facing difficulties and treats each person as the expert on their own story. Sessions tend to focus on listening, reflection and building understanding rather than giving step-by-step instructions. This style can suit people who want to explore feeling stuck or unsure in a supportive setting.

Carly has worked with people who identify as neurodiverse and those dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, work-related stress, and challenges around eating and self-esteem. She also notes experience with trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD and issues common to young adults. Her practice pays attention to communication patterns and growing self-love.

The emphasis in sessions is on connection and helping people notice small, usable changes. Carly aims to make starting therapy less daunting and to help clients shape goals at a comfortable pace. She invites people to reach out when they feel ready and to take their time deciding to begin.

Background and approach information in this profile reflects her person-centred work and the areas she lists in her practice.

How person-centred work adapts to remote therapy

Carly practises person-centred counselling, which means she focuses on creating a warm, non-directive space and listens closely to what each person brings. This approach helps when people want to explore feelings like anxiety, grief, anger or low self-esteem without being told what to do.

She also pays attention to communication and neurodiversity, which can mean adapting how sessions feel so conversations are clearer and more manageable for each person. That can help with issues like ADHD, relationship communication problems and the stresses of work or parenting.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Carly will discuss what feels most comfortable and help decide together how to shape sessions to meet personal goals and preferences. The plan can change as people learn what helps them most.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel, and allow shorter or later appointments when needed. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are preferable to being on camera.
