About Femi

Femi Carty works with relationship difficulties, grief, parenting concerns, depression, anxiety and a wide range of other life stresses. He uses an integrative approach and works with clients to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours and find strategies that fit their situation. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Femi offers a straightforward initial assessment where he asks about current mental health and the reasons for seeking counselling. That first session is used to build a plan together and agree what future work will focus on. He describes the process as collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on clear steps and discussion rather than jargon.

His practice draws on several approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas. He adapts these to the person's concerns, using techniques such as exploring relationship patterns, looking at unhelpful thoughts and attending to emotional responses. Sessions involve talking, reflection and small practical tasks to try between meetings.

Femi offers telephone sessions throughout the day and video sessions from 18:00 UK time. He notes that different formats can suit different routines and preferences, and he will discuss options when arranging appointments. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and may vary in cost by location.

He accepts English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients. To begin, users are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling

Femi draws on attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current close relationships and can help with intimacy issues and abandonment concerns. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience in the moment, using listening and reflection to clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques aim to identify unhelpful thinking and test out practical behavioural changes to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then agree which methods to try together. This makes the process collaborative and responsive to the client's needs.

The biography specifies telephone sessions throughout the day and video sessions from 18:00 UK time, so confirm the exact session options when you book. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing format and scheduling is part of the first assessment and helps match sessions to everyday routines.
