About Carmen

Carmen Slobozeanu works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and a range of relationship and life-change concerns using a person-centred and integrative style. She is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience working in the United Kingdom.

Carmen meets people who are dealing with addictions, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She also offers support for intimacy-related issues, communication problems and separation or divorce.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to address attachment and relationship patterns, and existential thinking to look at meaning and life direction.

Sessions are conversational and aim to help people talk through what matters most to them. Carmen listens for how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact and then helps people test small changes. She encourages straightforward reflection and practical steps that fit daily life.

People who choose her often want direct, respectful discussion about difficult topics such as trauma, addiction or bereavement. Carmen describes herself as non-judgemental and open minded, and works to give people room to speak and be heard.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they do

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without imposing solutions; it helps people clarify their feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and some behavioural issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional experience and attachment patterns and is often used when relationship or intimacy issues are a concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carmen works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's aims and preferences, and may combine elements over time as needs change. The counsellor will discuss goals and try methods that fit how the client prefers to work.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions possible for people who live abroad or who have constraints that make in-person appointments difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT exercises, emotionally-focused tasks and client-centred reflection to work effectively in remote sessions.
