About Femi
Femi Carty is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, anxiety, depression, stress and codependency concerns. Femi also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties.
Femi uses an integrative approach. That means he draws on a few different ways of working to fit the person in front of him. In sessions he will talk through thoughts, feelings and behaviours and help clients find practical strategies to use between meetings.
In the first session Femi carries out an assessment to understand current mental health and the reasons for coming to counselling. He uses that information to plan ongoing work and agree clear goals. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a client wants to change.
He offers telephone sessions throughout the day and video sessions from 6:00pm UK time. These options are intended to make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life.
Femi treats each person as an individual and aims to build trust so people can speak openly. He discusses ways to manage difficult emotions, set boundaries, and cope with life changes in practical steps. His style is conversational and goal-focused, with space to look at deeper patterns when needed.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how someone responds to closeness, separation and reliance in their relationships and to practice different ways of connecting or setting limits. Client-centred therapy puts the persons experience at the heart of the work. In this approach the therapist listens without judgement and helps callers name their priorities and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT tends to use clear exercises and short practical tasks to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour day to day. Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try out methods together. That collaborative process helps identify what helps most for codependency, anxiety or relationship problems. For practical matters, check the current session options before you book. The profile notes telephone sessions are available across the day and video sessions after 6:00pm UK time; confirm whether those remain the formats offered. Online sessions can fit into a lunch break or an evening, can avoid travel time, and may make it easier to keep consistent appointments while balancing work and family life.Areas of focus
