About Carmen

Carmen Slobozeanu is a BACP-accredited counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults on problems like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and grief. Carmen also supports people facing relationship and family tensions, addiction, low self-esteem and issues connected to sleep, eating and parenting.

Her way of working draws on client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally focused thinking. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical ways to cope. Carmen listens for patterns that keep a person feeling stuck and helps name them so different choices become possible.

She often uses straightforward exercises from CBT to manage worry and to change unhelpful habits. With emotionally focused ideas she pays attention to how feelings show up in relationship problems and in intimacy-related concerns. Carmen also brings existential questions into conversation when people face loss, big life changes or feelings of emptiness.

People who struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around another person’s mood or substance use may find it useful to talk through those patterns with her. Carmen works in English and Romanian and accepts international clients.

Sessions follow a collaborative rhythm. The first meetings clarify immediate needs and set practical next steps. Later work mixes talking with focused exercises aimed at clearer boundaries, steadier mood and more reliable day-to-day routines.

How sessions work

Approaches Carmen uses and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive conversation. The counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own answers; this approach suits issues of self-esteem, life transitions and grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses short exercises and practical tasks to reduce worry and change habits, which can make it easier to use between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how feelings shape relationships and intimacy. It helps name painful emotional patterns and to try new ways of responding in close relationships.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Carmen will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and needs. Early sessions clarify what matters most and agree simple steps to try together.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit talking therapy into work, family life or busy schedules. They can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins and make it easier to continue therapy when life changes, while the therapist and client decide pacing and tasks that suit day-to-day routines.
