Carmen Roberts helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief. She writes plainly and offers steady, practical support to people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Carmen's approach aims to restore a sense of control and clearer choices in day-to-day life.

She trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a degree from the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body. Carmen is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

Background and approach

She also has a Diploma in Criminal Psychology. In sessions she looks at how early attachments and past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. That often means noticing repeated patterns and trying out small changes to test new ways of relating.

She combines exploratory work with short-term, solution-focused steps so people can see progress between sessions. Carmen has seven years' practical experience in different settings. Her work has included time in an eating disorders unit, within a police force environment, and volunteering with bereavement support.

Those roles inform how she approaches trauma, grief and complex presentations. She offers a straightforward, calm style. Conversations tend to be reflective but practical, with a focus on clearer communication, boundaries and coping skills.

People come away with tools they can use outside sessions and clearer ideas about next steps.

How Carmen's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and closeness. It helps people who struggle with trust, fear of abandonment or repeating relationship patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on understanding recurring thoughts and emotions that come from past experiences. It can help when problems keep returning despite attempts to change them. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and immediate goals, helping people try small changes that build momentum and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Carmen will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the person learns more about what helps.

Online sessions use video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for a close, conversational pace. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, want brief support between sessions, or need a flexible option during a busy day. These options make it easier to attend therapy around work, travel and family commitments.
