Carl Selby, BACP

Carl Selby is a United Kingdom based therapist credentialed with the BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and brings three years of clinical experience to his practice. He works with people facing stress and anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, career difficulties, depression, and the challenge of coping with life changes. Carl combines practical skill-building with reflective exploration to help clients clarify values, manage difficult emotions, and develop strategies for everyday functioning.

He aims to offer a nonjudgmental, open space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced and examined without fear of criticism. In sessions he focuses on collaboration - setting achievable goals, practicing new coping techniques, and tracking progress so the work feels purposeful and relevant to each person’s situation. His approach supports both short-term problem-solving and longer-term personal growth.

Carl recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and affirms the step of getting started. He provides flexible remote options that suit varied schedules and needs, helping people move toward clearer priorities, greater resilience, and improved wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Support Delivered Online

Carl uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and reflective exploration. One strand of his work emphasises skills-based strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, useful for managing stress, anxiety, and low motivation. Another strand prioritises reflective, person-centred exploration that helps with self-esteem, feelings of guilt or shame, and finding direction during life changes or career transitions.

Deciding which methods to use is part of the therapeutic process. Carl approaches this collaboratively, working with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session, and adjusting the approach as progress is made.

Online therapy with Carl offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit around work, caregiving, or mobility needs. Registered professionals can deliver consistent, structured support across these formats, making it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when managing significant life transitions.
