Femi Carty , BACP

Femi Carty is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers a calm, non-judgemental space to explore the problems or uncertainties a person may be facing. He is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the UK professional body for counsellors. Drawing on a person-centered stance, he works collaboratively to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to identify practical strategies for change.

As an integrative practitioner, Femi uses a variety of therapeutic methods to match the work to each individual's needs. His clinical toolkit includes Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Jungian approaches, and he adapts techniques to suit the goals of the person in front of him. He treats every client as a unique individual, placing the client at the centre of the therapeutic process.

Femi’s areas of focus include relationship and family concerns, grief and bereavement, parenting, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and career coaching, along with related challenges such as compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. He aims to support people in regaining a greater sense of confidence and control in their lives.

He recognises the courage it takes to begin counselling and starts the first session with an assessment to understand current mental health and the reasons for seeking help. Together with each client he plans the work for future sessions and offers flexible formats to suit individual needs, including face-to-face appointments, telephone sessions throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and how early relationships shape current attachment styles; it helps people understand relational triggers and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance where the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore their own values and solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical, structured techniques, which can be effective for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Femi collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. He works with clients to adjust the focus and pace of therapy so that the chosen approach supports meaningful progress and feels comfortable for the individual.

Online therapy with Femi is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from wherever you are, reduce travel time and allow therapy to fit into busy lives while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
