About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. Carey-Sue treats each person as the expert on their own life and aims to build on existing strengths to help clients move forward.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. She listens carefully and helps people make sense of difficult experiences, including childhood abuse and recovery from narcissistic abuse. Sessions often focus on small, practical steps that can ease daily stress and improve sleep, relationships and self-esteem.
Carey-Sue draws on several therapeutic styles to meet different needs. She uses client-centred methods to make space for each person's perspective. Emotion-focused ideas help when emotional connection and intimacy are central concerns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage anxiety and to reduce reactivity.
People come for help with a wide range of problems, such as grief, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues that arise after natural or human-caused disasters.
Her work is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort. Sessions are practical and grounded, with an emphasis on clearer communication, better emotional regulation and realistic, achievable goals.
Approach-led online counselling and what to expect
Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person's own perspective and priorities, so sessions focus on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of their experiences and decide what feels important to change.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in how people connect and respond to emotion. It can be useful for those struggling with intimacy-related issues, relationship pain, or strong emotional reactions that keep repeating.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and lower anxiety. These techniques are practical and can be used between sessions to manage stress and improve sleep.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is assessed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Before booking, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers, since options are not specified in the profile. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to support consistent, ongoing work without requiring clients to be in the same location.
