Background and approach
She has worked across schools and counselling organisations and currently practises in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services while also seeing personal clients. Sessions can address anxiety, depression, addictions and coping with life changes. Her work often focuses on relationship and family concerns, attachment issues and communication problems.
Carys also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, body image and self-esteem. She uses practical steps and conversation to help people rebuild confidence and find new ways of coping. Therapy is tailored to each person.
Carys describes a collaborative style that checks in regularly about progress and what is helpful. Sessions mix listening, reflection and evidence-informed techniques so people can try different ways of thinking and behaving. She is comfortable discussing faith and spirituality as part of therapy, having experience as a Christian counsellor.
Carys offers online formats including video, phone, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How Carys adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions use that lens to help people notice patterns and try different responses in daily life. Client-centred work focuses on the person in front of the therapist, offering non-judgemental listening and reflection to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces small experiments and practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Carys aims to be collaborative and will discuss different methods with each person. She helps clients choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let therapists and clients work face to face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be used for a shorter check-in or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, brief updates or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while maintaining consistent support.
