About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on anxiety, trauma, addiction and depression, and she works with people facing relationship strain, grief and life transitions. Carey-Sue starts by listening closely to each person's story and recognising their existing strengths.
She believes clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person's needs. Carey-Sue aims to create a calm, steady space where practical changes can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach blends talking therapies and mindful practice. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the client. Elements of emotionally-focused work help when relationships and attachment feel painful or confusing.
Carey-Sue also draws on motivational interviewing to support change, and psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns. This mix can help with anxiety, addictive behaviours, grief and long-standing hurt from abuse. Sessions often focus on understanding triggers and building small coping strategies that fit everyday life.
People come to Carey-Sue for help with sleep problems, parenting stress, career worries and compassion fatigue as well as more intense issues like chronic illness, bereavement or separation. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different routines and needs.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy honours each person's perspective and aims to follow what matters most to them. The therapist listens, reflects and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety and life transitions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and attachment patterns that affect close relationships. It helps people name emotions and shift unhelpful interaction patterns, which can ease relational strain and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carey-Sue will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and work in depth. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and medical commitments, while still using the same therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work.
