About Carla
Carla Humphrys is an AHPRA-credentialed counsellor with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Carla writes in clear, everyday language and aims to make first steps feel manageable.
Carla helps people who are wrestling with family conflict or parenting strain. She also works with anger issues and the day-to-day challenges of coping with life changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, useful steps that fit into busy lives.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative. Carla listens, reflects what she hears, and suggests simple strategies to try between sessions. Techniques come from a mix of evidence-informed methods and mindful practices aimed at lowering worry and improving coping skills.
Clients can expect straightforward tools for managing anxious thoughts, grounding techniques for intense feelings, and ways to communicate more clearly with others. Carla encourages experimentation to find what actually helps each person in their real life. She sees therapy as a practical partnership.
Carla supports clients to set clear goals, notice progress, and adapt plans when things change. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on everyday solutions that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.
Practical approaches for online therapy and everyday change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that fit your values. It helps when worry gets in the way of what matters most by teaching simple exercises to act despite difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches clear strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It suits people who want step-by-step tools to reduce anxiety and manage stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carla will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted based on what helps in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties, and other commitments while still practising the approaches discussed in sessions.
