About Carmen

Carmen Roberts helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. She uses straightforward conversations to help people regain control when a problem starts to take over. Carmen's approach aims to make day-to-day life and relationships feel more manageable again.

Carmen trained in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a degree awarded by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also has a Diploma in Criminal Psychology and seven years of practice experience.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses psychodynamic thinking to notice repeating feelings and behaviours. Solution-focused methods are used alongside these to set clear, achievable goals and to track practical change.

Carmen has worked in a range of settings outside private practice. Roles have included volunteering with bereavement support, work at a police force and time in an NHS eating disorders unit. She has also managed an employee wellbeing scheme, bringing workplace awareness to mental health challenges.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Carmen helps people talk through their concerns, notice patterns that keep problems going, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. If you want to explore therapy, follow the booking steps on this profile to begin.

How Carmen’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions, helping people notice patterns in relationships and in how they respond to stress. Psychodynamic-informed work invites reflection on repeated emotions and behaviours to understand where they may come from and how they influence daily life. Solution-focused methods concentrate on clear, short-term goals and small practical steps that create noticeable change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Carmen will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and methods best match a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, with practical goals reviewed and adapted together.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It can also support people who prefer speaking from a familiar setting or who need flexible scheduling around work and family commitments.
