About Carmen
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions look at how past experiences shape present behaviour and how that affects relationships. Carmen draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat, and attachment-based thinking to explore how close relationships influence feelings of safety and trust.
She also uses solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and try small changes between sessions. That mix can bring both insight and practical steps for breaking unhelpful cycles. People often use this combination when they feel stuck after a separation, loss, or a shift at work or in relationships.
Carmen holds a degree in Therapeutic Counselling from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and a Diploma in Criminal Psychology. Her background includes work with bereavement support, an NHS eating disorders unit, and a police force, as well as running an employee well-being scheme.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. Carmen does not accept international clients. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape the way someone connects with others now. It is useful for people experiencing abandonment, trust issues, or repeated patterns in relationships. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring themes and unconscious patterns that influence choices and moods. This can help when anxiety, grief or past trauma keeps turning up in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carmen will help clients decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular check-ins easier to maintain. If quieter surroundings or a shorter check-in suit someone better, those options can be discussed when arranging sessions. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking to ensure they fit with work, family and other commitments.
