Carmen Slobozeanu, BACP

Carmen Slobozeanu is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practises as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She has worked with adults, children, and young people facing a wide range of concerns, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress-related difficulties, communication problems, substance misuse, family conflict, and loss and bereavement. Her clinical work is informed by an integrative approach that blends Person-Centered principles, psychodynamic perspectives, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioural techniques to meet each person where they are.

She believes that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and treated with respect, and she holds that each individual has inherited value and worth. Carmen presents herself as emphatic, non-judgmental, warm, and open-minded, and she encourages diversity and uniqueness as important parts of the therapeutic journey. She aims to support people in moving toward their goals with encouragement and practical therapeutic tools.

Carmen invites those ready to take a courageous step toward change to seek support, offering a collaborative and compassionate space to explore challenges and build new ways of coping and relating to self and others.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-directive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and unconditional positive regard; this approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, exploring personal values, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours through practical strategies and structured exercises, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and attachment patterns in relationships, supporting people and couples to deepen connection, process grief or trauma, and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Carmen will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration may combine elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan that feels right for the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face contact without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain regular contact with a registered professional when that continuity is important.
