About Femi

Femi Carty is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He focuses on relationship issues, grief, parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, stress and addictions, among other life challenges. He works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

He uses an integrative style and draws on several approaches to shape sessions. That means he will notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and try practical steps to change them. He also pays attention to attachment patterns and emotional responses to help people understand relationship problems.

In a typical first meeting he completes an assessment to learn about current mental health and reasons for seeking counselling. He and the client then set straightforward goals and a plan for future sessions. He offers telephone appointments throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time to give options for fitting counselling around life.

Work in sessions is conversational and task-focused. Expect to talk through recent situations, identify thinking or behaviour patterns, and practise different ways of responding between meetings. He adapts methods depending on how someone responds, using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches when helpful.

Femi treats each person as an individual and aims to be clear about practical steps. The emphasis is on small, testable changes rather than long explanations. This approach is centred on what the client wants to achieve and how to get there.

How Femi uses structured approaches in online sessions

Femi works from methods that focus on thoughts, relationships and emotional patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It can help with anxiety, depression and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how they influence reactions now. This can help when relationship problems, intimacy issues or attachment concerns come up in counselling. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a collaborative conversation where the client’s perspective guides the work and the counsellor listens and responds to what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss these methods with the client and decide together which fits best for the client’s goals and preferences. That decision can change as the work progresses and as practical needs become clearer.

He offers telephone appointments during the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time, so clients can choose what suits their routine. If you need other session options, confirm them before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful and remove travel time so sessions are more practical.
