Carryn Williams, BACP

Carryn Williams is a counsellor who focuses on people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with those feeling overwhelmed, struggling with self‑esteem, or coping with family and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction and intimacy-related concerns. Carryn writes plainly and aims to help people start feeling more like themselves.

Carryn uses a warm, client-centred way of working. She invites clients to bring whatever they are carrying and then helps them name and untangle thoughts and feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to talk through recent events and longer-standing patterns.

Her background includes six years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. During that time she has worked with a variety of everyday struggles including parenting pressures, sleep problems and coping with health or caregiving stresses. She also pays attention to issues such as attachment, abandonment and blended family dynamics.

Carryn draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships and personal patterns. She also offers hypnotherapy as an additional tool where appropriate, alongside a core client-centred stance that keeps the client’s priorities first. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

If you are unsure whether to try therapy, Carryn encourages a short conversation to see if her approach fits your needs. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space so practical steps can be taken at a pace that suits you.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-directive, listening-led style. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping people make sense of their experience to find their own way forward. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns shape relationships and personal responses; it helps people name emotions and change unhelpful interaction cycles. Hypnotherapy uses guided focus and relaxation to address habits, sleep issues or motivation, offering another route to change alongside talking work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with a client-centred conversation, trying EFT techniques for relationship patterns, or introducing hypnotherapy tools when appropriate. Decisions are made together, and the approach can shift as needs change.

For practicalities, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy week, saves travel time and makes it easier to attend from different locations. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what you need. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best support your goals and help you plan sessions that fit your day.
