About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression and relationship concerns. Carey-Sue uses everyday language and practical conversation rather than clinical jargon.
She frames the client as the expert in their own story and helps people build on their existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear steps and conversations that people can use between appointments. Carey-Sue aims to make the process straightforward and practical for those who find talking about hard things difficult.
Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name what they are feeling and improve how they relate to important others. Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns and find motivation for change. She also brings psychodynamic ideas into longer term work to look at repeated patterns that affect relationships and self-image.
Carey-Sue often supports people dealing with social anxiety, stress, sleep problems, grief, parenting strain and problems with self-esteem. She also addresses issues such as codependency, control problems and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with international clients as noted.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Carey-Sue uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise each person's experience and help them steer sessions at a comfortable pace. This approach supports people who find it hard to talk in groups or social settings by focusing on what matters most to them.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape interactions. EFT can be useful for people who want to understand repeated relationship difficulties and reduce intense emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. Carey-Sue will talk through the methods, explain what to expect, and adjust the approach based on the person's goals and preferences.
