Carmen Slobozeanu
Accessible counsellor combining practical and relational work
About Carmen
Carmen Slobozeanu is a counsellor and an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings six years of practice in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Romanian. Carmen aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She listens closely and helps people name what feels hard. Sessions usually focus on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and difficult life changes.
Background and approach
Carmen draws on several approaches to shape sessions, including client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. She also uses emotionally focused methods and elements of existential thinking to help people clarify values and build more meaningful connections in their lives. In a typical meeting she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and practise new ways of responding.
Conversations are plain and direct rather than full of jargon. The aim is to leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings. She offers online formats that suit different needs, such as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging.
People who live outside the UK may also access her services. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match a person to a suitable therapist and then they can schedule as needed using the platform's process.

How Carmen's approaches work in online therapy
Carmen uses client-centred methods that focus on listening, empathy and helping people lead the conversation. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.
The choice of approach is made together. Carmen will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the way she works as the sessions progress. That collaborative process helps find the best fit over time.
Online formats give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls suit deeper conversations where seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing, or check in between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offering online work commonly use these options to make therapy easier to attend and maintain.
