Femi Carty

Femi Carty is a counsellor who helps people facing anger, anxiety, stress, relationship problems and loss. He aims to give a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. He describes his work as centred on the person in front of him and on practical steps that can make life easier.

He uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That means sessions can include talking about past experiences, looking at patterns in relationships, and trying out different ways of responding to difficult feelings. He will listen, reflect what you say, and agree a simple plan with you.

Femi holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has four years of experience working with issues such as grief, parenting stress, addictions, trauma, self-esteem and career concerns. He also offers support around attachment issues and intimacy-related difficulties.

Sessions are available in person and online, and he offers telephone appointments throughout the day. From 6:00pm UK time he provides video sessions. If international work is needed he accepts clients from other countries but recommends checking session options before booking.

In the first meeting he carries out an assessment to understand current difficulties and goals. He then works collaboratively to make a straightforward plan and to try strategies that fit day-to-day life. He aims to help people feel more confident and more in control.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

The counsellor combines Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches in ways that suit online sessions. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and behaviour; it can help with anger, intimacy issues and attachment concerns. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person find their own answers; it supports self-esteem, grief and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Femi will explore your goals, preferences and the issues you bring, then suggest ways of working together. This is collaborative rather than fixed, and plans can change as you try things and see what helps.

Practical benefits of online and telephone sessions include fitting counselling around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Telephone appointments are offered throughout the day, and video sessions are available from 6:00pm UK time; confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to check in during a busy week, have a shorter catch-up when needed, or use different formats to suit energy and schedule.
