About Carey-Sue
Carey-Sue Ham is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and anger. Carey-Sue frames clients as experts in their own stories and builds on their strengths to address present difficulties.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing, whether that is managing strong reactions, recovering from past harm, or coping with life changes. She uses a mix of listening, reflection, and guided strategies so people can try different ways of responding outside sessions.
Carey-Sue draws on several methods to support change. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her emphasis on the client's perspective. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with understanding and shifting emotional patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help slow down intense feelings and improve focus in stressful moments.
She also uses elements of Motivational Interviewing to explore readiness for change and Psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that affect current relationships and behaviour. The aim is to combine approaches that suit each person's goals and preferences.
Sessions are conducted in English and Carey-Sue accepts international clients. Practical next steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Carey-Sue commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's perspective, offering space to talk through problems and build on personal strengths. It helps when someone wants a direct, reflective conversation about current difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape patterns in relationships and behaviour. It is useful for people who want to understand and change recurring emotional reactions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple exercises that reduce reactivity and improve attention in stressful moments. These practices are brief and practical, aimed at helping someone manage intense feelings between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. That choice may change as work progresses, and the therapist reviews it with clients over time.
