Salome Carter

Salome Carter is an AASW social worker and child and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and life changes. Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. Salome uses practical, evidence-informed methods and a strengths-based, trauma-aware stance. She focuses on what clients need now and what will be useful after sessions end. Conversations tend to clarify patterns, identify coping strategies and map small, actionable steps. She often helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or stretched between competing demands. Sessions can include looking at relationships and boundaries, decision-making around work or family, and developing ways to manage anxiety and low mood. Salome offers coaching-style support when clients want guidance alongside therapeutic work. Her work with parenting and family matters draws on experience in complex family settings, adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues and separation. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric concerns, and addiction-related challenges in their family life. Salome adapts her approach rather than relying on a single method. She discusses options with each person and builds a plan that fits their situation. The emphasis is practical: making sense of what is happening and creating strategies that can be used outside sessions.

Evidence-informed approaches and online delivery

Salome draws on evidence-informed and strengths-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. A strengths-based approach looks for what is already working in a person's life and builds on those abilities to handle current problems. Trauma-informed practice focuses on understanding how past harm affects present reactions and on creating practical ways to reduce overwhelm and improve coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses different methods with each client and chooses techniques that align with their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel focused and relevant rather than generic. Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit into a busy day, remove travel time and make it easier to have short check-ins around work or family commitments. Others prefer a longer scheduled appointment to focus without interruptions. Discussing what will work for scheduling and session length is part of the initial planning with the therapist.
